You don't give amuch by way of details here. However, anytime potential criminal charges are involved, it is a good idea to have legal representation. And any time that the police want to question you, you should not do so without having an attorny present. The fact is that no matter how innocent you may be, you could inadvertently say something potentially incriminating about yourself or another. Remember, the police are trained interogators so speaking with them without legal counsel is not a good idea.
At this point, you should consult directly with a criminal law attorney in your area. The can hear the details of your situation and best advise you as to your rights.
