A: Of course you know what to do. If you got rid of evidence that you were breaking the law, there's probably no way you're going to get in trouble with respect to that evidence. I'm guessing it was dope of some kind. Unfortunately you broke the law by destroying the evidence. It's possible you could get in trouble for that offense, assuming whoever is watching you saw you tampering with and destroying that evidence. Maybe they're still there because they have called in a warrant on you or your premises and they are waiting for the warrant to be hand-delivered to them so they can serve the warrant on you before you can get away from where you are now.

If I were you, I'd get the hell out of there and then call a good lawyer. Good luck.
