WIEAND, Judge,
concurring:
I concur in the majority’s determination that a Commonwealth nol pros of criminal charges is not an acquittal of the defendant on such charges. See: Commonwealth v. McLaughlin, 293 Pa. 218, 142 A. 213 (1928). For purposes of applying the provisions of 18 Pa.C.S. § 110, I would agree also with the trial court that the sale of marijuana on March 9, 1987 and the possession of cocaine and marijuana discovered upon execution of a search warrant for appellant’s residence on March 10, 1987 were not part of the same criminal episode.
