Stay recalled. Writ granted. The ruling of the District Court is reversed, and the motion to suppress the non-party witness’ statement is denied. We find under the totality of the circumstances, this statement was voluntary and is admissible. See State v. Lewis, 539 So.2d 1199,1201-02 (La.1989). This case is remanded to the District Court for further proceedings.
