Maine v. Prescott
Annotate this CaseDefendant Rachel Prescott appealed her conviction following a conditional guilty plea to operating while under the influence and for failing to report an accident. Defendant's plea preserved her right to appeal the trial court's order that denied her motion to suppress evidence derived from police questioning. Defendant argued on appeal that she was not technically in police custody at the time she was questioned because she was not read her rights nor did the police use its crusier lights when transporting her from the scene of the accident. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded Defendant was in custody at the time of her questioning, and vacated the judgment and part of the suppression order entered in Defendant's case.
