The State appeals an order suppressing incriminating statements that David Arnold made to police. The State argues that (1) Arnold was not in custody when he made the statements, and (2) Arnold’s statements were voluntary because the police used no coercive or improper tactics to induce him to make the statements. We agree that Arnold was not in custody and that his statements to the police were voluntary.
We reverse the suppression order and remand to the trial court.
This opinion will not be published.
