Description
On March 6, 1985, Betty Bryant was working as a desk clerk at the Red Roof Inn in Little Rock. She saw the appellant linger in the lobby of the Inn for about thirty minutes, and then, after all of the other people in the lobby had left, she closely observed him when he came up and asked about room rates. She told him the rates, and he immediately walked over to the window, looked out, came back, walked behind the desk, and pulled a handgun. He took the money, pointed the gun in Ms. Bryant's face, and told her to lie down. She did so, heard the door open and close, and heard the sound of a motorcycle leaving. The police were summoned, and when they arrived, Officer Ralph Simon took a physical description of the robber from Ms. Bryant. He subsequently got a description of the robber from Roy Moore, the last person to leave the lobby before the robbery. That night appellant drove his motorcycle to a school to pick up his wife. From the school they rode to the River Port Inn in Pine Bluff where appellant showed his wife some money. She knew that he was unemployed and had just gotten out of prison, and asked where he got the money. He told her that he had robbed the Red Roof Inn. His wife reported this to a Pine Bluff policeman, who contacted the Little Rock Police Department, which ultimately arrested appellant. This led to the identification of appellant by Ms. Bryant, the charge of aggravated robbery, and the conviction. We affirm. Appellant first contends that his arrest was the result of his wife's breach of a confidential communication, and he is privileged to prevent her from breaching that confidence under A.R.E.
