The complaint indicates that King was a suspect before she contacted the police. Second, as indicated in the dissent in State v. Hauer, No. C5-96-249 (Minn.App. Sept. 3, 1996), review granted (Minn. Dec. 11, 1996):

After Foss, in an unpublished decision that was later reversed by order of the Minnesota Supreme Court, this court analyzed a case similar to the one here. State v. Hauer, C5-96-249 (Minn.App. Sept. 3, 1996), rev'd, (Minn. Dec. 11, 1996).

The rationale for my position is set forth in my dissent in State v. Foss, ___ N.W.2d ___ (Minn.App. Aug. 27, 1996). Here, as in Foss, and as in the unpublished decision of this court in State v. Hauer, No. C5-96-249 (Minn.App. 1996), by relying on its inherent power to grant stays of adjudication that reach beyond statutory authority and ignore prosecutorial objection, the judiciary encroaches upon the powers of the executive. Here, the district court stayed adjudication "in the interests of justice" following appellants' guilty pleas to the wrongful and felonious obtaining of $21,453 in public assistance funds.
