A:
Hire a criminal defense lawyer. If you can't afford one, you may qualify for a public defender.
Please Take Notice: I am not your lawyer unless we enter into an engagement agreement in writing. This is general information that is given for legal education only. It is not legal advice, and it may not work for your specific situation. It is impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the relevant facts and documents. I strongly encourage you to consult with a local lawyer to get legal advice and help with your specific situation at your earliest convenience. I am licensed to practice law in Arizona.
A: You can suppress anything that you said without an arrest warrant but that is the only remedy for an arrest without a warrant typically. It's important to look at the facts of the case and see how they investigated your case and what linked you with the crime and see if any of your constitutional rights were violated during that investigation. There is a lot at stake with a 2nd degree felony and I would advise that you get a private attorney on board if you haven't already to ensure that your rights are protected.
