What you do now is, hire a good lawyer.  One place to find qualified criminal defense counsel is our website, http://attorneypages.com

There are obviously a lot of details to this story, much more than you could fit into a question like this, and probably things you were smart not to post on the internet.  Your lawyer will need to know all the details, because something you might not even think was important could turn the whole case around.  That's part of what you're paying for!

I'm not sure you'll be able to have this dismissed, or that you could be acquitted at trial if it comes to that.  But I am sure that you are far and away going to be better off with 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. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
