## Opinion text

JACKSON, Judge
concurring.
I concur fully with the majority. However, assuming arguendo that defendant was in custody at the time of his conversation with Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown, he had been given his Miranda warnings twice in the prior four days. Defendant first was read his Miranda rights upon arriving at the sheriff’s office on the night of 12 *474 January 2004, and he was again advised of his rights on 15 January 2004 prior to being interviewed by the NCIS agents at their office. Therefore, even if it was error for the trial court to admit defendant’s statements to Sheriff Brown, any error was harmless as defendant had been adequately Mirandized.
