Okay, I have a major alcohol problem. Around 11 last night, I called my friend to pick me up from the club. I was too drunk to drive. Anyway, he said we were going to Las Vegas and to get comfortable. I crashed in the backseat. Him and our other friend, Ryan, were in the front. I woke up just after 2 and realized we were parked somewhere. The guys weren’t in the car. I looked around and didn’t recognize where I was. I was still drunk, stumbled out of the car, and walked about 100 feet to where an old building was (I could see a light inside). Within a couple minutes I realized my friends were robbing this building. I started to freak on them, yelling about what they could be doing. Next thing you know the cops arrive. My friend was back in the car by this time, so he couldn’t run, but Ryan and I took off. I tripped, bruised my leg, and got a slight cut on my head while being arrested. I have never been in trouble and am not sure what got into my friends.

My words were slurred enough that the cops didn’t try to question me for too long - also, I refused to talk. Even this morning when in court and upon being woke up, I still wouldn’t talk. What can I do? I’m totally screwed(?) and don’t know what’s going on. Why were they being so dumb!? : (

Generally, when you get arrested for intoxication, you get out when you have sobered up. The worst part is, I'm feeling guilty for not talking. I am actually known in the community -(I know, here comes the hypocrite)- for my work with the local police department and PAYADA (Parents And Youth Against Drug Abuse). I had a quick arraignment hearing this morning, the plea of not guilty was entered, and I was bailed out.

The friend I mentioned is still in jail and as far as I know, they never caught Ryan. My police friend has been calling, and I heard he stopped by my house looking for me, after I got out - I know I should confide in him, but I am disappointed in myself - for all of it. I wish, I just, I guess I want to talk to Jeff (the friend) and find out what the hell was going on.

Get help with your alcohol problem or this legal troubles will look like a walk in the park. Get a lawyer, tell he or she what happened, and try to get the judge to put you into a treatment program.

I don't know why your friends are dumb , but according to the law , EVERYONE involved is usually at fault ! It would probably depend on your particular state or city though. It will also depend on if they were " successful " in the robbery ,and of course if they hurt anyone . I know you don't want to rat out your friends , but what kind of friends are they REALLY if they let you take the fall for something that THEY did? You should just tell your side { to the cops or judge, or lawyer } the same way you told us or as truthfull as you remember, and screw them guys , they will just bring you down ! Are they saying anything to help clear your name ? If not "F" them ! By not talking { which you do have the right to do - or not } it makes you seem guilty in the eyes of the court anyway ! Talk ! Save yourself ! Then when all is said and done , GET SOME NEW FRIENDS !!!!!! Good Luck !

Your best bet is to tell the police everything. robbery,breaking and entering flight to avoid arrest reckless endangerment. you could go to prison for a long time. If these people where truly your friends they would not have put you in this situation. IN America its suppose to buy innocent until proved guilty but i am guessing that you have found out that this is not true they can hold you 72 hrs without charging you. even if they drop the other charges you have an accessory to the crime which hold just as much time as doing the crime.
good luck

Not being familiar with jail myself....if this was last night how is it that you have computer access? That is one I hadn't heard of before. If you are already out someone must have coughed up some heavy duty bail huh?
Evading arrest, burglary, drunk...? Again I am not too familiar with the process (thank God!) but I would doubt you would be out so quickly.
You are full of sh*t!!!!!! Oh yeah, my first thought in jail is to email yahoo answers. Hell, you didn't even ask a question! God, get a life!!!
You have still not answered how you have internet in jail?
And just why you would reach out to "answers" at a time like that?.....Still NOT buying it!

You are guilty by association. No your not guilty like your friends but you may get clumped in wih them. Better get a lawyer. Next time you get drunk. take a room or a cab. Best case, next time have a beer or 2 or don't drink at all.

the most important in the long run is : a major alcohol problem. Help yourself with this!.
Now you are ashamed and so on, but thats only becuse you was so drunk so you got yourself in this situation.
Go to A.A for example.
Good luck!
