After the preliminary hearing, she moved to suppress the evidence of the drugs. She argued she was in custody once she was placed in handcuffs and her statements were made before she was given her Miranda warnings (Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 [16 L.Ed.2d 694]). She also argued the officers had no right to detain her; the officers made assumptions not based on any facts.
