Do not speak with the police without having an attorney present. You could well make incriminating statements, no matter how unintentional. And the fact is that you don't have to agree go in for questioning or make a statement, even if they come to your house.

Again, you need to consult with a criminal law attorney. They can best advise you on how to proceed. Postpone going in if you have to but get a lawyer.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
