    Hi,

    I received a letter today from a Guard offering me the chance to come into the station and make a voluntary statement about my role in a crime in July this year. The crime in question was an altercation between a few lads but I was not at the fight, and was in a pub a mile away while said incident occurred. I have witnesses to this and even though it was last July, I can recall my steps perfectly that night so I'm not as such worried about the case itself. However, this letter stated that a failure to comply may result in my arrest, and that is something I am worried about. I will be contacting a solicitor in the morning to get advise but I said Id chance posting it here to see if anyone has any advise because this will eat away at me.

    Any help or guidance appreciated.

    If you didn't witness said alleged crime then how you are linked to it?

    Take care what you post about yourself OP, because you can't take it for granted that unwisely posted details will be deleted afterwards.

    I wish i could find it now. But a few weeks ago there was a thread on here about speaking to the police. It was an American criminal law person giving a talk. It was very interesting. Someone posted it in relation to speaking to the guards.
    Hopefully some one here can link it for you.

    I think this is the thread. Not too sure.

    Hopefully it's all just something of nothing. Best thing as you said, first thng, contact a solicitor.

    Someone might have given your name and thats all the guard has to go on.
    If it was me i would ring the guard in question and tell him what the story is and you have a witness for the time in question.
    No need to get a solicitor if there is no need.
    Solicitors cost.
