You are charged with a crime. You need a lawyer and you should NOT be talking to the police as you did without counsel. When charged with a crime, if you fail to come to court, you will have a second charge for the failure to appear and can expect to be arrested and jailed for that. If you have a good defense, that is something your lawyer can assist with.
