i just tuned 16. just one week ago, i got a job. i work with a 27 year old drug addict alcoholic. he lives on the street. he’s a nice guy, he’s just not good to be around because he’s nothing but trouble. recently, he was arrested for possession of marijuana, and prescription narcotics. he was released the next day and he came back to work. my friend and i hung out after work. eventually, the 27 year old called my friend as asked him if we wanted to hang out with him. i didn’t want to but my friend did. just when we met him, my mom told me she was coming to get me, and i told her to meet me on a bridge across from the park that the two were entering. while i was waiting for my mom on the bride, a cop pulled up to me and asked where he (the 26 year old) was. and she asked my name and i told her. she said, "don’t try to lie to me, I know you work with him, and i know you know where he is because i just saw him walking up the same street you’re on right now." I was completely honest with the cop. I gave her my name and i said, "yes i do work with him, and i just saw him go into that park over there." I asked her to keep me anonymous, she said she would. (she wasn’t very polite.) when my mom picked me up, i saw her parked in a shopping center, and she left when i left, probably to pursue the man. does anybody have the slightest idea as to what she said to the man, and if he will be able to figure out it was me that ratted on him. The kid is strong and he would have no problem hurting me. but i refuse to lie to a cop. and i don’t think it was fair for me to be involved in the situation. does anybody know what the office will tell the man, because I’m getting really nervous. Thanks.
Let this be a lesson. This is what happens when you hang out with criminals. Work is one thing, association another. You should not hang out with the other friend either. The cop could have suspected you were working as a look-out. She was nice to let you go without further questioning. I think she will not say anything to the other guy.
Edit: You got involved yourself, it was your decision to go to the park, do not go around blaming the officer; she did her job and she did it well.
Probably not since you just informed her where he went, technically you are a confidential informant, go you! lol.

At work tell the 26 year old the cop strong armed you into giving her answers.
Don’t count on staying anonymous. Cops can lie during investigations.

The officer will not let him know that you ratted on him. Next time don’t be pressured into giving info that you may possibly not know about.
