Poll: Should I be scared?

[soilent]

I am American, I live on the east coast and today was the day I almost faced a Felony charge, I am 21 years old and have a perfectly clean record, I have never touched any real drugs, I havent smoked weed in a year, the last bit of alcohol I drank was on my 21st birthday, which was my first drink in 5 months.

ANYWHO!

I got tricked into attempting to cash a stolen check today, I had the idea in my head that they might have been stolen, but I didnt take it seriously, BIG MISTAKE.

I was questioned by police, and allowed to drive to the station myself, along with my girlfriend, who was also tricked into this shit. (This makes me feel infinitely worse, since if she got a charge it would ruin her life. Thank the gods, she didnt.)

After I told the police everything, they let me go, after many apologetic tears being shed, my girlfriend and I were able to calm down, everyone I know is telling me that I should be fine, that if the cops let me drive to the station myself in the first place, and let me leave after questioning, that I should be perfectly fine, but I am paranoid as hell about this and I need your opinions, if only for emotional support.

I'd be about as careful as normal. I'm pretty certain the police won't break down your door if they've let you go already for this.
Funnily enough I found a check on the sidewalk the yesterday, but tore it up and put it in the trash.

It'll be fine. Nothing bad is going to come of something like this, especially if the police seemed that lenient.

Meh, you should be fine.
You told them the truth and they understand.

Fail that though, Don't drop the soap if the worst comes to the worst.

My Nigerian uncle has those checks. He can send you one.


I mean really who uses checks anymore lol.

Yeah i agree with everyone else, if they were planning on REALLY coming after you they wouldn't just let you drive in yourself. Chances are you might be looked on as someone who did something dumb but only accidentally.

Without more information I can't be 100% sure, but from what you have posted. It sounds like you should be solid. Worrying about it won't do you any good anyways, just be completely honest when need be and everything will work out.
