Well he can report this to the police but it is up to them if they charge you.

He can report you for using his name without authorization. He can not make the decision if charges will be laid against you. He can bring a civil action for using his identity as to making payments from the account, was it a joint account or did you use the payment account without authorization as well. Long and short, you need to secure counsel. You have some potential big bumps on your road ahead.
