You would be wise to hire counsel. Chances are there will be speculation as to why you left the scene and, I imagine, the thought will be that you left to avoid a DWI. If you make no statements, there will be littel evidence to charge you with a DWI.
Nonetheless, you charged with a misdmeanor which is punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $1000 fine.
