Defendant argues that the court lacked jurisdiction to order the money's return.
In the alternative, it asserts that, even if the court had jurisdiction, it erred in finding that the forfeiture proceeding was untimely. They had information that Curtis Hollins, Earl and Mattie's son, had brought cocaine to Detroit from California with the intent to sell it. When the police arrived at the Hollins' house, Curtis admitted to having the cocaine. He led an officer to an upstairs bedroom where two kilograms were discovered. Mattie Hollins then told the officers that she had money in the basement hidden in a pillow case under a pile of laundry.
