May's allegation that the Defendant remained shirtless and in handcuffs throughout his detention,
transportation by APD Officer Darren Moore to the Asheville Police Department, and placement in
an interview room at the police station. The cited testimony is relied upon to establish the
continuous nature of the Defendant's custody, restraint, and isolation during the several hours
preceding his interrogation by Detective Judy Romick. May relies upon this testimony to support
his claim that the circumstances surrounding his detention—including prolonged restraint, fatigue,
exposure while shirtless in air-conditioned environments, and continuous police control—must be
considered when evaluating the voluntariness of his statements and the validity of his purported
waiver of constitutional rights.
