MEMORANDUM**
Defendant was given the option of speaking to an investigator and receiving a citation, or remaining silent and being taken into custody. A difficult choice, but not an unconstitutional one. The district court found that defendant had been advised of his constitutional rights, and that he was familiar with the criminal justice system. Moreover, the investigating officer did not threaten any unauthorized action. Under these circumstances, the confession was not coerced. United States v Crespo de Llano, 838 F2d 1006, 1015-16 (9th Cir.1987).
AFFIRMED.
