A: If the police definitely know who he is then he needs to hire an attorney and have that attorney communicate with the police. The Attorney can access if he should get out his side of the story and it is less likely that he will be arrested if he hires an attorney.

A: Hire a criminal defense lawyer snd let them resolve it with the police.
