United States of America v. Andre Robert Womble, II

Case Number: 
3:15-cr-00093

Memorandum Opinion and Order

Pending is Defendant Andre Womble’s (“Womble”) Motion to Suppress Statements, ECF No. 30. The sole issue is whether Womble unambiguously invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent when, after being informed he was under arrest and during interrogation, he said, “[i]f I am under arrest, take me to my bunk; all these questions, we can just skip them because I want to go to court.” 1For the reasons explained below, the Court holds that Womble’s statement was an unambiguous invocation of his right to remain silent. Because detectives did not cease questioning after Womble invoked his right to remain silent, the Court GRANTS Womble’s Motion to suppress his statements made after he invoked his right.
