Appeal From Berkeley County, Kristi Lea Harrington, Circuit Court Judge.
Appellate Defender Elizabeth A. Franklin-Best, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant Attorney General William M. Blitch, Jr., all of Columbia; and Solicitor Scarlett Anne Wilson, of Charleston, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM
Joseph Wade Hiott appeals his convictions of assault and battery, possession of a stolen vehicle, and failure to stop for blue lights, arguing the trial court erred in failing to declare a mistrial when the victim testified Hiott had recently been released from jail. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authority: State v. Dunbar, 356 S.C. 138, 142, 587 S.E.2d 691, 693-94 (2003) ("In order for an issue to be preserved for appellate review, it must have been raised to and ruled upon by the trial [court]. Issues not raised and ruled upon in the trial court will not be considered on appeal.").
We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
AFFIRMED.
WILLIAMS, THOMAS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
