Legal Question in Criminal Law in Washington

son in trouble

a deputy talked to my husband and told him our 21 yr son was a likely suspect in a recent robbery based on ppl saying they saw him drinking some of the samy kind of alcohol stolen and that he has been hanging out with a bad crowd who do cocaine and are gang bangers. He wants my son to come talk to him and thinks he can prevent my son from being arrested. What should we advise our son to do?
