334 S.E.2d 223 (1985)

314 N.C. 442

STATE of North Carolina v. Wonald Borum WESTMORELAND.

Supreme Court of North Carolina.

September 5, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lacy H. Thornburg, Atty. Gen. by Charles M. Hensey, Asst. Atty. Gen., Raleigh, for the State.

Ann B. Petersen, Chapel Hill, for defendant-appellant.


BRANCH, Chief Justice.

Defendant first assigns as error the admission into evidence of his custodial statement that he had given John Blakemore a .22 caliber rifle as payment for a football debt. He contends that the statement was obtained through an interrogation conducted after he had asserted his right to silence. We hold that defendant did not invoke his right to silence and that the trial court properly admitted this statement into evidence.
