Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Mexico

The lady I was working for called the police and got a search warrant for my car and apt. because I did not show to work the next day because I was very ill with walking pemonia but had still been going to work for a few hours cause I knew she really needed me, but that day I couldn't even talk and kept coughing. That was Wednesday, but on Monday I folding clothes and she asked me where

I got the ring I had on I told her it was the same one I showed her last week" that I found out in her backyard when I was cleaning up the doggy poop but all you said was yes, its not just the porch that needs cleaned its that back yard also, especially with 5 dogs; again I said I just did thats where I found this but she just mumbled something and I knew she was hurting so I left her alone" I handed

her the ring and she said thats mine where did you get it, and I told her again but she said I never told or showed her and I told her yes I did in the rocks cleaning poop... then she told me to get back to work then later called me in there and asked me to go look out there again cuz she was missing more rings. I went out and looked all over but saw nothing else, told her and she said they better come up or I am calling the police and I told her I didn't blame her but I didn't know she was accusing me. The search warrant had all kinds of jewelery listed; they searched and since I was so sick they let me stay near my bed. They took a few of my things and a few of my earrings that i either got at a yardsale or dumpster diving but they have only have one or or broken, but I kept them because I can

only wear one earring my ear is tore; and I showed them. They asked me again do you want to change your story? I said no there is no reson to I have told you the truth. Told me they would have to arrest me when she made the ID I am a law biding citizen who retired after 26 years with the city. I am a widow and just offered to clean her house cuz she was an x City retire also, others wise

I just help my mom or daughter or work on the computor. I never took anything from that ladys house and I am a little offended she even accused me, not to my face but sent the police.

She told someone that those were some of her things. I haven't heard anything from no one but I have also been very sick. I just do not want to go to jail for anytime when I have done nothing wrong. What should I do?
