I bought a tv from a friend but later found out it was stolen from a neighbor that I know, now the neighbor is bugging me trying to get the tv from me, they said they will call the police. I had nothing to do with the theft and the neighbor know that but they are trying to cover their loss from me, I also have plenty of witnesses.

Dealing in stolen property is a 2nd degree felony with up to a 15 year sentence to prison. You have admitted to committing a crime on the internet and it is not wise to do so. Even if you give the tv back, you can still be prosecuted for this crime. The friend who sold the tv to you is not really a friend at all.
