Ok so I have a problem and I need advice and if anyone is into law and stuff like that I would greatly appreciate your feedback.
Ok so last night I went to a frat party here at my college (in america). I was pretty drunk, and when I went into the house the first thing I did was drop my Carlos*et behind some couch (there were lots of other Carlos*ets). So the rest of the time at the party I spent it dancing and making out with this girl. On the way back I couldn't find my Carlos*et and this girl gave me another Carlos*et by mistake thinking it was mine, and I took it. This morning my roommate tells me he found this university ID card of a girl on my desk. I do not remember taking or seeing that ID at all. But I did remember seeing the girl in the ID at the party with some girl I know. So the first thing I do is contact the girl I knew and gave her the ID so she would give it to her friend, when I do this the girl I knew tells me that the girl who's ID I found got her purse and cellphone stolen at the party. Later on today I went with a friend back to the frat house to get my Carlos*et back, I got it, and on the way back my friend was lighting a cigarette and we saw a cellphone in some bushes, I told my friend: man, maybe that's her phone, yet so I didn't take it, we just left it there. Later on I tell this guy I know (who is firneds with the girl that got her purse stolen and whos id i found) that I saw a phone by some bushes by the frat house. So this guy asks me where exactly I saw it, I tell him, and he decides to go look for the phone.
Later on tonight I recieve a message of the girl that got her purse stolen that she knows exactly what I did, she says I got her ID and 21 dollars and that I threw away her purse and her cellphones in the bushes. She says she contacted the police and that I better pay her back the 21 dollars and apologize by tomorrow or if not she's going to tell the police about me.
So now I don't know what to do. I mean I guess what happeend is that while I was looking for my Carlos*et I found the ID on the floor and decided to take it and give it to her, since I didnt see her around I wanted to go, i kept it. But I'm positive I didn't steal any money or cellphone or anything. Plus, I have proof that I walked out of the party not holding a bag since I was with some girl and other friends, although we were all quite drunk. Then also it could've been that her ID was in the Carlos*et I took by mistake, but I asked the girl if she had lost her Carlos*et and she said no.
Now I'm wondering what the consequences can be for me, since I am not willing to pay her back 21 dollars or apologize, cause really i did not do anything!
