Jonathan Chavez-Ortega was charged with driving under the influence, reckless driving, and racing after officers saw two cars accelerate and appear to race on wet roads. When Chavez-Ortega returned to the traffic-stop scene, officers smelled alcohol on him, handcuffed him, and placed him in a patrol car while they searched for his vehicle. Although an officer said he was not yet arrested, the officers questioned him about drinking, his movements, and whether he had driven the other car. Chavez-Ortega said he did not want to talk, received Miranda warnings, repeated that he did not want to speak, and was questioned further. The Court of Appeals of Georgia reversed the denial of his motion to suppress. Before the warning, handcuffs, cruiser confinement, and the officers’ guilt-seeking questions created custody for Miranda purposes, making those statements inadmissible. After the warning, Chavez-Ortega clearly and unambiguously invoked his right to remain silent. The officers nevertheless continued direct interrogation, so his post-warning responses also had to be suppressed. The court distinguished ordinary on-the-scene investigation, which may include temporary detention, from questioning aimed at establishing guilt. The judgment was reversed. Presiding Judge Andrews and Judge McFadden concurred.
