Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Will I be charged with accessory?

I was at a bar about 3 months ago and I was drunk and let some guy at the bar use my car to go down the road because he said he would be right back and would put gas in my car. Two hours later he didn't come back so I called 911 and reported my car stolen and then I found out that he robbed somebody for like $200 but it was left in the car and then he did a high speed chase and abandoned my car somewhere and it was towed. When the police came with the witness who got robbed he identified that it wasn't me and they had me fill out a statement and kept trying to say I was lying and that I know the guy. They let me go and said that my car would be seized and that I wouldnt get it back. Well I got it back 2 days later and it had fingerprint stuff all over it. How long do results typically take? It's been 3 months and the cops havent contacted me or anything but I am worried that because I let him use the car I am partly responsible. I'm just not sure if everything is good and what if they try to say that I was in on the crime? I mean it is my word against theirs. So I would just like some advice because this has never happened to me before or anyone that I know. Thanks.
