The cash, including $752 allegedly belonging to Eric Conatser and $622 belonging to Karen Conatser, totaling $1,374 was ordered forfeited by Judge Locke during a forfeiture hearing.“The cash was seized due to the narcotics violation,” Cavanaugh said, alleging the money was the product of illegal acts by the couple.The child neglect charges were lodged because Karen Conatser’s two teen-age children were living at the residence while the alleged illegal acts were going on.“They were living at the residence and subject to the drug-related environment,” Cavanaugh said.
