Legal Question in Traffic Law in Georgia

I left the scene of an accident. I have never broken the law before. I was told by the other party involved it was fine to leave since it was not my fault. Now I have a detective and police dept. wanting me to come in and give a statement as to what happened. Saying that I left the scene and that part of the accident was my fault. That is completley not true. I don't want to go to jail, but understand that I should have stayed. I just don't want to go to jail. Please help! I just want to give my statement but I just don't want to be held in jail all day. The detective said it should take an hour. Is he lying?
