Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Illinois
Last night I was picked up by some girls I worked with to go hangout with some of my friends. When we got there two guys there were already drinking. The girls started drinking also. I then was picked up by a friend and went to hangout with a friend who lived about 20 minutes away. I was gone for the remainder of the night. The next morning I received text from the girls stating that they had gotten really drunk and were in trouble because one of the girls parents were "pressing charges" or getting the cops involved. Tonight I received a voice mail stating the following
"Hello, I'm calling Tyler this is Officer Benkings with the Phil Police Department. That incident. That happened the other nights. With the girls there in Morton and the under age drinking. I need to talk to you to get some information. so my number is 243-1547 522-1281 my cell. Or, you can call the police department leave me a message when I can talk with you. I will not be at the police department on that number is 432444265. That's the police department, but I prefer you call me on my cell. I'll be working tonight and til late into the evening or early or late morning hours so I appreciate your call. Thank you.
What should I do? Im worried that I might get in some kind of trouble. What should I tell the police, should I even call them back?
Thank you
