Will I get arrested?

Will I get arrested?

Long story short, I was in California and bought
a phone off a person on Craigslist for cash. I
later resold the phone for a profit. 3 months
later I’m called by the police in California I live
in New York, was just in California for a visit to
answer questions about the phone that I sold.
They said it was stolen. My dumb self didn’t
know you didn’t have to answer questions from
the police over the phone. I answered his
questions like the idiot I was and now I’d like to
know if it’s possible to get arrested for
something of this nature when I live in New
York and the police called all the way from
California.
