Felony Theft Scrap Metal

I was selling scrap metel for someone and where i sold it they called the police and the police told me that the person i was selling for needs to bring in proof that he owns the metal. When i told him he acted like it was not his problem. So i think it is stolen and i don't want anything to do with it but i was the one selling it for him. What should i do so i do not get charged with felony theft?

I agree with Mr. Casanave, but if you want to chance it without an attorney, go to the police officer who told you about the proof and come clean about the guy you were selling it for.
