Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana

Me and my friend stayed at a casino hotel for a couple of days.He was doing meth the whole time we was there. He was so geeked out he didnt leave the room for a day and a half. He asked me a few times to go get money for him out of the atm so he could get more dope and other things. I did as he asked. He gave me his pin no. Well monday rolls around and hes sobered up and sends me a text saying if I dont pay him $1200.00 hes going to press charges. he said i took his card without permission...FACT-How did I know his pin no. if he didnt give it to me. Ive got text messages from the dates in question asking where his dope is and other things. Ive got a witness who seen him give me the card. I dont have 1200.00 to give him. Its like he spent all his money and when he sobered now he wants me to pay for it. I have a little boy who depends on me. Please tell me what I can do if the cops get involved which Im sure they will.Hes going to try and tell them I didnt have permission which in fact I did. Please help.

You will need to keep copies of text messages and track of the alibi witness.

You better get an attorney if you think he will really try to charge you with theft.
