Have you been questioned? Use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony requires the police to prove that had knowledge that it would be used in the commission of a felony. If you are out of the country and have absolute proof to that effect then you are not responsible.
Retain an attorney and confide only in that attorney. Good Luck!
Who is telling you that this is a felony? The police? Or is it someone with nothing to do with this? From what you've said, I don't know why the police would try to go after you and drag you into this case. If you have concerns, consult directly with a criminal defense attorney.
