You were in the car with her during the accident? What happened when she was asked for her insurance at the scene? I am not sure why she would be hunted by the police, when this accident would surely be in the hands of insurance companies and lawyers. And 3 months is definitely not the timetable they would be working with.

Something doesn't add up here.
No, it doesn't.
They lead completely separate lives and don't socialize, but the OP was in her car? Why?
No mention of any injuries at the accident. They were in the car and don't know whose fault it was?
Sounds like something else is going on besides the accident that cause her issues.
My car was in the shop at the time so I needed a ride. Also, not sure if it matters but the vehicle she ran into was a city work vehicle.
That really doesn't make a difference. You didn't bother to ask the cops or your roommate why she was being sought?
You may be *just roommates*, but for something like this, in which my life is intruded upon by her bad behavior, I would absolutely insist I know what is going on. Or do you not care that your roommate has engaged in something that results in a warrant for her arrest? They don't show up at your house for a simple traffic violation, ya know?
Would greatly appreciate some feedback. So I have had a roommate close to a year now, we share an apartment. Anyway, 3 months back she was in a wreck that was her fault. I was with her when it happened but she was ordered to pay for the wreck. We don't really talk that much nor do we share details about our lives which is understandable, but shortly after the wreck I did find out from her she was held responsible and was going to have to pay. Didn't hear any updates about that which is understandable, didn't care to know and she didn't say being roommates after all.
That was until today. She had gone to work while I was studying and I got a knock at the door, it was a cop. They asked for my roommate which I told him she wasn't here, he asked if I knew where she could be and said she was at work and said where she works, he said thanks and left. Later that day my roommate comes back angry as can be. Apparently they arrested her at work, and she is now furious at me for telling them. I said to her I wasn't going to lie to the cops and she said "Well, you could have just told them you didn't know and you wouldn't be in trouble". She is very angry at me as you can imagine. Oh, her mother bailed her out btw.
So was I in the wrong here?
No, you did nothing wrong. Being honest is a GOOD thing. Your roommate is responsible for whatever she is doing wrong..and 2 wrongs don't make a right.
I don't know how exactly it went down but she was supposed to pay off the insurance or something, I do remember her getting a letter in the mail (I got the mail that day) and she opened it and said something to the effect of "I need to pay this? It's not my fault!". And in the past I know she has had issues paying debts and such, sometimes getting her to pay her half of rent/bills is a pain so it did not at all shock me. Anyway, as mad as she was she got out of jail pretty fast, her mother just went to the jail, paid what she owed and she was right out.
The police are not going to come and arrest her for not paying her insurance. Maybe the other party was awarded a payment or something, and the police arrested your roommate on a bench warrant, for not complying with the judges orders. Or, she didn't show up at court.....All contempt of court charges which are arrestable offences.
It does seem funny that your roommate has kept you so in the dark considering that you were in the vehicle when the accident occurred.
I still think accusing you for her troubles with the police was ridiculous. I'd personally be looking to move, or move her out....especially since you just posted that she doesn't pay her share like she is supposed to.

Sounds like you need a change in this situation.
And, as a result of the arrest, she faces the possibility of losing her job. She may not be able to afford living there in the very near future.
Why is she mad. If you had not told them where she was they would have just returned later.
