You should never, ever, lie to the police and technically you filed a false police report which is against the law. While I can understand that you were trying to do something nice for your friend you put yourself in a bad situation. From the way that you have stated the facts it appears that your friend was not liable. But you need to correct the problem. I would speak with an attorney to help you do so. Good luck.
