Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

Misdemeanor (debit card found)

My friend found a debit card and we used it ($34), we are being charged with misdemeanors. I didn't know the debit card wasn't his. He told the police that I knew he found the card and I said to them I didn't know that. We never been arrested, what would happened in court (june) if the stories are different, what would be the worst scenario?
