Basically, 'twas my mate Seb's 19th, so we went down to Megabowl (bowling alley, just happens to be close by)
Played a few games, had a few beers. Seb and my mate Wal had been drinking all day, so they were mortal. They stole two pins and hid them outside. As we left, they picked them up and started hitting stuff with them in the car park. A staff member saw us as we left, and phoned the police.
As we walked home, Wal and my mate Fos smashed a bus shelter (hit the glass) and some guy chased after us, claiming we'd hit his car. Almost got into a scuffle with him, before we left because the police were on their way. Went to mine, drank some water, talked to my dad. Wal wanted to go back to where the guy had tried to hit us so we could get the pin (fingerprint evidence, don't you know) but it wasn't there. What was there, however, was a bussie car, and we were asked to sit in the back.
Wal and I were arrested on suspicion of theft and criminal damage, and we were driven 9 miles to a bussie station. I was searched and had my stuff taken from me, including my belt and trainers (so I couldn't hang myself) I claimed the right to have a solicitor, to make sure I didn't get pooped on since I'd never been in that position before. Got put in the cell at about half 12, and at about 2am the solicitor came and asked me some questions, told me the procedure. Got stuck back in the cell, then at about 4am I was interviewed. I denied all knowledge of seeing any pins, or seeing anything get smashed. At about half 4 they gave me my stuff back, and I was bailed and waited in the reception for my mate Wal. At about 5 he got out, and we were given a lift home. Didn't get home till 6am, where I slept for two hours before I had to get up to get ready for college, grr.
Basically, I'm totally innocent of everything, as it was my friends who stole the pins and hit stuff with them, but I can't prove that, so I'm kind of stuck. They knew we were lying about not knowing about any pins that had been stolen, and one of them told Wal if someone admitted to stealing the pins, someone else admitted to hitting the bus shelter, and someone else admitted to hitting the car (even though no-one did) then those people could get off with a caution. So, Seb's claiming he stole the pins, Wal's claiming he hit the bus shelter, and Fos is claiming he hit the car. So, hopefully, they'll just get cautions, and we'll all get away with it (not that I did anything anyway, except be there) If that doesn't work, then I'll end up in court over something I didn't do, and have a fine as well as a criminal record. Great (!)
Yeah, we're scumbags, I know, but it's not like my mates do this sort of thing on a regular basis, heh

Take your punishment like a man. Doesn't matter if you didn't do anything, the fact is, you didn't stop THEM doing it, so you're just as bad.

Um... hello? Had to keep an eye on my friends, couldn't exactly walk away and leave them.
Don't know what sort of friend you are, but I'm not the kind of kid to do that

I had to stay and make sure nothing happened to them...
Bang up job I did there!

I think getting a caution for doing nothing sucks. But as soon as they started laying into the bus shelter i would have walked away.
Well, the bussie who interviewed us both has talked to my mate Wal several times, and is going out of his way to just get us a caution, since he knows we're not exactly "hoodlums"
Lucky, because otherwise we'd both end up in court and my other mates would either get arrested too, or get away scot-free

What a great way for your mate to spend his birthday...
Basically it's unlikely you'll get more than a caution BUT youth violence/crime is getting to be a pretty hot issue these days so I wouldn't count on anything. Even though you didn't want to leave your mates, the fact that you didn't pretty much makes you as bad as them in the eyes of most people.

Oh what a great time you and your mates must have...

Well, they could get you for
Theft or Criminal Damage unless you can prove otherwise or/and
Drunk and Disorderly
Disturbing the Peace
Wasting Police Time\Perverting the cause of Justice
Being an Accessory to a theft and\or Criminal Damage
Whatever happens, I doubt that you would get much more than a Caution or if it was taken to court, a fine.
