i feel like i have let my family down . i got into trouble with the law . oh that 's not good . what did you do ? i lied to the cops about something i was questioned about . truthfully , i did n't want other people to get into trouble . but instead , i was charged with making false statements to the police . i 'm sorry you are going through that . sometimes telling the truth is the best , even if other people might get in trouble . that is entirely true . i was also worried about retribution from the other people . in the end , telling the truth is better than getting myself into trouble and letting my family down .
The person lied to the police and got charged with making false statements.
