Description
¶1 The State of Wisconsin appeals from an order, which granted Paul Wa Tou Xiongs motion seeking to suppress statements he made to police. The State contends that the trial court erred in two respects. First, the State argues that Xiong was not in custody during his interview at the police station; thus, any statements Xiong made were volunteered and not subject to suppression. Second, the State contends that even if Xiong was in custody, the statements need not be suppressed as he was properly advised of his Miranda*fn1 rights; thereafter, he knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived his rights. Because the record reflects that Miranda rights were properly given and Xiong knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived those rights, the trial court erred when it suppressed the statements. We reverse the trial court order suppressing Xiongs statements made to police and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
