Spradley v. State

Defendant could be retried after he successfully moved for mistrial when the prosecutor introduced inadmissible evidence from a 911 call, since the prosecutor did not intentionally goad defendant into making that motion.

Bobby Spradley appeals from the judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of two counts of armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, possession of a controlled substance, obstruction, failure to stop, no license, reckless driving, and fleeing and eluding. Spradley claims the trial court erred in denying his plea in bar on the grounds of former jeopardy and in its charge to the jury. We find no reversible error and affirm.

This case arose when an anonymous caller reported to 911 that she heard a shot fired and saw two men in a white Chevette or Chevelle in front of her house, one of whom had a gun. Officers responding to the call saw a white Chevelle pull into a gas station and followed. When police approached the car after it stopped, Spradley, who was driving, sped off. Officers chased the car and it ended up in a vacant lot. Spradley and co-defendant Shaun Frazier jumped out and ran. After a brief chase, police caught both men and arrested them. Police found a wallet belonging to Tracy Lundy in the car and also found cocaine on Spradley, who admitted that it was his.
