   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-2390
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Shepherd and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. The district court erred in suppressing 
   statements and evidence gathered during the search of defendant's home and 
   car; the district court erred in finding defendant was in custody at the 
   time he made certain statements as defendant was unrestrained in his own 
   home, had been advised he was not under arrest and had been told that any 
   any participation in the interview was voluntary; under such circumstances 
   a reasonable resident would have known he was free to leave or terminate 
   the questioning; shorn of the erroneous legal conclusion about custody, 
   the record established defendant's statements and consent were voluntary, 
   and the district court erred in granting defendant's suppression motion.
