Opinion

56077.

SUBMITTED JUNE 26, 1978.

DECIDED JULY 10, 1978.

Armed robbery. Hall Superior Court. Before Judge Kenyon.

Loggins Murray, Hulon Murray, for appellant.

Jeff C. Wayne, District Attorney, James H. Whitmer, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.

BIRDSONG, Judge.

Hamm was convicted of armed robbery. His sole contention on appeal is that a statement signed by him was not voluntarily given because he was using drugs at the time the statement was made. On virtually identical facts, this same contention was decided adversely to appellant in Richardson v. State, 143 Ga. App. 846 ( 240 S.E.2d 217). See Little v. State, 142 Ga. App. 343 ( 235 S.E.2d 764). The trial court did not err in admitting into evidence appellant's statement.

Judgment affirmed. Bell, C. J., and Shulman, J., concur.

SUBMITTED JUNE 26, 1978 — DECIDED JULY 10, 1978.
