    REPORTED IN THE COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 2105 September Term, 2014 ______________________________________ LABRIA PAIGE v. STATE OF MARYLAND _____________________________________ Wright, Graeff, Moylan, Charles E., Jr. (Retired, Specially Assigned), JJ. ______________________________________ Opinion by Wright, J. ______________________________________ Filed: November 30, 2015 Appellant, Labria Paige, was convicted by a jury in the Circuit Court for Howard County, Maryland, of theft under $1,000.00 in connection with a shoplifting case. After she was sentenced to 18 months, with all but six months suspended, appellant timely appealed and presents the following questions for our review: 1. Did the motions court err in denying Appellant’s motion to suppress a statement obtained in violation of Miranda?1 2. Did the trial court abuse its discretion in permitting Loss Prevention Officer Salley to narrate the events depicted in the Macy’s closed-circuit camera footage? For the following reasons, we shall affirm. BACKGROUND Motions Hearing On April 14, 2013, Thea Salley, a loss prevention agent with the Macy’s Department store located in the Columbia Mall, testified that appellant and two juveniles were stopped by Macy’s loss prevention agents as they exited the store carrying concealed merchandise. Because appellant fought with the loss prevention agents in the Macy’s parking lot, the agents handcuffed her, for her safety as well as their own. Appellant and the two juveniles were then escorted to the Macy’s loss prevention office, located in an area of the store that otherwise was not accessible to the general public. Salley testified that the dimensions of the office was equal to half the size of the well in the courtroom, or approximately 20 feet by 20 feet.
