I strongly suggest you hire a lawyer to represent you. If they are charging you with a felony, it will be helpful if you get a lawyer before the grand jury returns an indictment against you. The lawyer will be able to review your case and try to put a packet together to submit to the grand jury. Might be able to keep you from being indicted.
