Andrew Wayne Mumford v. the People of the State of Colorado

Summary

The court held that Mumford was not in custody for Miranda purposes when he made an incriminating statement during execution of search and arrest warrants. Considering the totality of the circumstances, a reasonable person would not have viewed the brief, conversational questioning as restraint equivalent to formal arrest, so no Miranda warnings were required and the statement was properly admitted. The court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals.
