I agree with the prior answer, you should absolutely retain a criminal defense attorney before doing anything. Any statements you make to a law enforcement agent may and will be used against you. You have possible legal defenses to the proposed charges. I would be happy to discuss your options , please contact my office @7188340087 for a phone consultation.
