A:
Answered . Regardless of what happened, if the cops believe that they have PC (probable cause) to make an arrest (and PC can be based solely upon "man's" uncorroborated word) then they are going to make an arrest.
It is always better for "man" - or anyone else - to surrender on acceptab;le terms rather than to be hunted down and cuffed inconveniently and inconsiderately. In a surrender not only are the cops likely to treat "man" better but "man's" lawyer can argue to the Judge that "man" manned-up and faced the music, which should dovetail nicely with both a request for bond and an ultimate determination of guilt.
That said, under no circumstances should "man" speak to the cops. Ideally "man" will lawyer up, have his attorney broker the surrender, advise of representation and make sure that "man" is fully invoked; but, if "man" cannot afford a lawyer then "man" needs to accept the fact that he's getting booked and charged and INVOKE (caps intentional) - make no statements, offer no explanations provide only demographic information (name, address, SSN, etc) and ask for a court appointed lawyer to be present during any questioning.
"Man" needs to understand that cos are trained to manipulate statements / admissions / confessions out of folks and "man" must comport his behavior accordingly. Do not be baited, goaded, prodded, guilt-tripped... whatever; just STFU and INVOKE (caps intentional, again).
