Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling appellant's motion to sever charges for trial. The charges were properly joined and the evidence was simple and direct such that no prejudice was demonstrated. The trial court correctly overruled appellant's motion to suppress his statements because the interview was non-custodial and not coercive. The trial court did not err in overruling appellant's motion to suppress his cell phone contents because the detective had probable cause and exigent circumstances to seize the phone. Lastly, the trial court correctly found that the search warrant for the contents of the phone was valid. Judgment affirmed.
