Criminal Procedure — Miranda warnings — custody

Jody Bolstad appeals a judgment of conviction on three counts of failing to tag a deer carcass, pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 29.347(2) and one count of possession of a deer during closed season, pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 29.055. Bolstad argues on appeal that his Fifth Amendment rights were violated when he was questioned by a Department of Natural Resources Warden inside a DNR vehicle without first being informed of his Miranda rights. The circuit court denied Bolstad’s motion to suppress the statements he made to the Warden. The only issue raised on appeal is whether Bolstad was in custody and thus entitled to a Miranda warning. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
