Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Questioning

I have been questioned about the use of a stolen credit card that was used at drug store near my house and they say my car was at the store. I am only 19 and know nothing about this crime. I feel like I am being treated like a suspect. I have told them that I won't answer any more questions without a lawyer. What should I do?

If they persist, then hire an attorney. You are not entitled to one before charges are pressed against you and only then, if the State is seeking jail time.
