Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I was given a portable speaker as a birthday present from my cousin and about a week after receiving the gift I was in a tight situation money wise so I decided I would pawn it for a week until I got my paycheck. What I didn't know is that my cousin had stolen it from a store and he was being investigated. He is currently in jail for Retail theft, Dealing in stolen property, and false info to a pawn shop. Now the deputy that is investigating him wants to meet with me. My cousin and his accomplice have told the deputy that I had no idea the item was stolen but I don't know if that matters in this situation. I have no past record. I am wondering what I should do. Do I meet with the deputy, and if I do am I going to be arrested.

You hire an attorney and THEN you meet with the deputy. You don't want the officer twisting your words so it is helpful to have representation present to avoid that.
