STATE OF LOUISIANA v. DOMINIQUE MCCLELLAN
Writ Granted. The ruling of the district court suppressing statements made by the defendant and seized evidence is reversed. The district court erred in ruling that, during the routine vehicular investigatory stop, the defendant was under custodial interrogation. Further, the district court erred in ruling that the search of the vehicle—that the defendant consented to—was a violation of the defendant's Fourth Amendment rights. The matter is remanded to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this order.
PER CURIAM
GENOVESE, J., would deny.
