1Opinion of the CourtJustice Rice
In this interlocutory appeal taken pursuant to C.A.R. 4.1, we review an order from the Pueblo County District Court suppressing statements the defendant made in response to police interrogation. We find that the trial court erred in suppressing those statements because the defendant was not in custody at the time the statements were made. We therefore reverse the trial court's suppression order and remand for further proceedings.
