Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Dealership loaned my mother a car then said it was stolen after they fired me

I worked for a dealership for 5 years.In July,they terminated me and said that I had stolen thousands of dollars from a ladies desk even though they had video cameras all over the dealership and no evidence.The detective asked me to come in and clear this up and I spoke to an attorney who said that was not wise.In June,

my mom had an accident in her vehicle and the Used car manager said it was ok for her to BVA or borrow a dealer loaner car until the insurance claim was settled.When I was terminated,I was asked if I had anyone out in a vehicle and I told them yes a service customer and my mother.They said O.K.2 weeks ago,my mom was stopped because one of the tags was out in the loaner car.They called the dealer and after 2 hours of trying to figure out what was going on,the G.M came to the scene and tried to tell the officers it was a stolen vehicle.The officers explained to him that it was not reported stolen so they couldnt do anything.3 weeks later,the same detective that contacted me about the prior issue called my mom and said he was going to get a warrant for her arrest and her boyfriend for possession of a stolen vehicle.I called the detective who said he thought I was guilty as innoc pepl give stmts.Can they do this?Thks
