No! Absolutely not! Never, ever talk to the police, CPS, or anyone of that nature if you are under investigation or suspected of wrongdoing without consulting with a lawyer first. You and your lawyer can decide what the best course of action is to take. Once something is said to the police it can't be unsaid so it's important to consult with a lawyer in your area as soon as possible. Look for a lawyer that primarily practices criminal defense.
