ELLINGTON, Presiding Judge.
A Polk County jury found Reginald Davis guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of armed robbery, OCGA § 16-8-41 (a); kidnapping, OCGA § 16-5-40; hijacking a motor vehicle, OCGA § 16-5-44.1; and theft by taking, OCGA § 16-8-2. Following the denial of his motion for a new trial, Davis appeals, contending that the evidence was insufficient as to venue and that the trial court erred in denying his motion for a mistrial which was based upon testimony he claims constituted an improper comment upon his choice to remain silent. For the reasons explained below, we affirm.
