1Opinion of the CourtJustice Wolfson

William P. Davis, director of news affairs for the Chicago police department, was indicted on three counts of official misconduct. The charges were based on his purported relationship with Melvin Reynolds. The trial court granted a pretrial motion to dismiss the indictment. We find the three counts of the indictment do not strictly comply with section Ill — 3(a)(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (725 ILCS 5/111 — 3(a)(3) (West 1992)). Therefore, we affirm the trial court.
