BRADBERRY, Judge.

For the reasons set forth in the companion consolidated case hereto, State of

Louisiana v. Robert Crooms, Jr., 22-663 (La.App. 3 Cir. __/__/__), ___ So.3d ___,

the State has similarly failed to meet its burden of proving an abuse of discretion in

the trial court’s granting of Defendant’s motion to quash. Accordingly, the ruling

on the motion to quash for improper venue is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
