Do They have the right?

I met a person through a friend thought they seemed to be a nice person well I had a coupon for a hotel and my husband and I were going to utilize when we ran into this friend and they said they were going to get a room so we just gave them ours of wich they could just pay us what we paid the next day 2 detectives showed up at my door wanting to ask questions someone had stolen a laptop from our friend then I unfortunatly had a warrant from a fine I couldnt pay 2 weeks prior and intended to pay this week so I was taken in because of that wich is no problelm I could pay the fine and be done with it so I thought but 4 hours later they tell me that they are keeping me on a 24hr investigative hold and said that they were going to charge me with ''possible user and posession of paraphanelia'' I found out later that this person we gave our room to supposidly is being investigated and because they said the room was in my name that I was responsable for it, however, the room was not in my name nor did I sign for the room my husband did they said I used a cc I did not I have one on file but never have used it paid cash, they never read me my miranda until they interrigated me 4.5 hrs later how can they do that? when I wasnt on or in room?
