i dunno if i should talk about it here but its bothering me alot. me and my friend went to the mall awhile back and we had a book bag full of video games to trade at a video game store,my friend and me go to a few different stores and we went to the game store they bought the games from us,and my friend says to the guys in game store hey would you throw this away for us behind the counter or use your dumpster so some one dosent think this is a bomb or something,andthey said no no can big enough to put it in behind the counter and wthen we go to a cell phone store and he made the comment again and they said no. so we go get ice cream from the stand in the mall and my friend said something i don't remember what exactly but something like watch some dumb ass think this is a bomb or something and i cant remember what i said too good either they were like passing comments and i am a really quite guy shy and stuff so i don't say much any way i was prolly like yeah what ever... but we left and then my sister had a friend that wanted to talk to her about a tattoo design at the mall me and my family go to the mall and i see cop cars and stuff and my mind is freaking out like no no no no maybe its not what i think.well any way we get htere her friend says that it was 2 guys with a bookbag stealing games and they left a backpack there but they blew it up thinking it was a bomb... so i start walking kinda fast and nervous allso trying to have a reason make my sister get out the store quicker because she takes forever, i was wondering if i shoulda found a cop and told them at the time but i got fearful that i would be tackled or have a gun drawn on me.

well in the next two days my friends house is swamped with cops they take me and him into interrogation rooms an di tell em everything i can remember,at first i just told them a vauge description and it made them mad at me,but then i told em eveything i could remember at the time.
but any way when they were done insulting me and threating my life via saying they would throw manslaughter charges on me if a firetruck hit any one that day... they made me sign a witness statement and told me i am not in any trouble but they are charging my friend with inducing panic.

i am sure i have better more accurate details on the witness statment but i wanna know what you all think whats your advice, this has been a very traumatic experience on me all i know is that neither one of us intended for a scare to happen,i havent even had a chance to live my life yet and i am worried about this soooo much everyday like what are they gonna do what if they want to try and get me introuble some day,i feel innocent its just like after the interrogation i feel like bad about something but i dont know what maybe its just all the anxiety i dunno it just feels like i think about everything that was said to me and all that happend and how it all coulda been avoided if i wasent around or wasent with my friend,it makes me feel like i need to be alone and not take a risk of being in public any more too much bad can happen out of no where i am seriously like affraid everyday of oh **** am i doing something that can get me introuble or will that like i dunno what to do can some one talk to me please?

you might want to get advise from a lawyer.
