Plaintiff-Appellee,
v
No. 177384
Ingham County
LC No. 94-66875-FH
JOHN NASSIB BADAWY,
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: Taylor, P.J., and Gribbs and R. D. Gotham,* JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Following a bench trial, defendant was convicted of larceny over $100, MCL 750.356; MSA
28.588, breaking and entering a motor vehicle, MCL 750.356a; MSA 28.588(1), and habitual-second,
MCL 769.10; MSA 28.1082. Defendant was sentenced to a term of three to seven and one-half
years. We affirm.
Defendant argues on appeal that the trial court should have suppressed defendant’s statements
to the arresting officer because defendant had not been advised of his Miranda`1 rights. We do not
agree. The record clearly indicates that the challenged statements were volunteered and not solicited by
the police. The police officer testified that he did not ask defendant any questions after defendant
indicated that he wanted an attorney, but that defendant continued to make statements, vulgar comments
and threats. Indeed, the officer testified that, when defendant continued to talk, the officer suggested to
defendant that “he would be best off being silent.” Defendant’s statements were voluntarily made and,
thus, properly admitted. People v Granderson, 212 Mich App 673, 676; 538 NW2d 471 (1995).
Affirmed.
