Possibly. Your description is much like wondering if you offer to pay for stolen stuff AFTER caught shoplifting can you go to jal (answer yes). What you did was criminal. Obviously your promise to pay isnt worth anything for obvious reasons. You need to pay all of what you owe immediately to bank, and then pray a lot. You may also need to hire a lawyer to help sort things out as you may also have to deal with family memeber having you prosecuted.
