More details to this question:
My friend was a drug dealer and we went to the store. He was supposed to deal to an undercover cop. I had no idea what was happening. Out of the nowhere, the cops came and searched the car. They found marijuana. They took us in the station and later they found cocaine in my friend's body. They kept asking me question but I don't know anything. They let us go because my friend did a deal with them (give someone bigger). My friend gave someone big in. So now they called me and they want me to do the same but I don't know anyone and they are scaring me. Can I go to jail? Can they scare me like this? Should I call a lawyer?

If they think that they can tie the drugs in with you then they will charge you. Do not talk with them and get a lawyer to help you.

You can be charged with the same charge. You need to retain an attorney immediately.

You really need to hire an attorney. They will not honor any promises. The only one that can make a plea deal is the prosecutor.

You could be charged as a look out so you should consider making a deal.

You have the right to remain silent. Only idiots talk to investigators/cops. Remember, no matter what you say it will be twisted around and used against you later. Hire a lawyer before you get duped.

Yes, they can do this. Yes, you need to call a lawyer.
