Be careful and make no statements to anyone except your attorney. You have not seen all of the evidence that the cops have against you. When the cops are doing an investigation, they will not tell you what they know, they CAN and DO lie to you, just to get you to make statements. Based on what you already know, it sounds like there may have been a witness that saw you in the area. A hair sample, to be considered evidence, myst be examined and compared to a known hair sample. It does not sound like that has happened in this case. Which means the cop is most likely just telling you this to get you to "talk." After all, the governments case is stronger no matter what you say- guilty or innocent, you have no idea what they have against you. In order to be arrested for the crime the cops only need probable cause. In order to be convicted of the crime, the government needs proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Once you have seen all of the evidence agains you, then you will be able to determine what is the best resolution for you. If the evidence is not a lot you may want to take the case to trail. Bottom line is that you should hire a local criminal defense attorney to defend you against the charges. The case was filed against you, you have a court date, it does you no good to wonder why they filed the case. At this point you now have to defend yourself. If you cannot afford an attorney you may qualify for the services of the public defenders office.

You have been charged. Keep wondering while they put a jury in the box and convict you and send you to prison. You will see all of the evidence at jury trial.
