Mcpurple, sorry to hear what you are going through. Really sucks that someone you considered a friend would rat you out to the cops (I assume he did so in order to save his own skin). Get through this as best you can and once you are on the opposite end of this problem you can reflect on whether or not it is worth it to you to visit this "friend" and explain your displeasure with him. I certainly would do so, but I am a vindictive, vengeful sort of person.
Props to you for not playing the tattling game with the cops.
