1. Do not speak or associate with any law enforcement personnel at all. You have a 5th Amendment right to remain silent. Exercise it.
2. Consult a criminal defense law;yer. Initial consultations are usually done at no charge. If you don't know any, contact the State Bar of New Mexico. They will provide a list.
