On Supervisory Writs to the Criminal District Court, Parish of Orleans.

PER CURIAM.

Granted. We do not find the defendant was subject to custodial interrogation in this instance, and as a result, the Miranda warnings were not required. See, State v. Thornton, 12-0095, p. 4 (La.3/30/12), 83 So.3d 1024, 1026. Therefore, the statements made by the defendant to the police officer are admissible. The judgment of the trial court granting defendant’s motion to suppress is hereby vacated.
