While you have no obligation to say anything and can assert your right to avoid self-incrimination, that might cause the police to look at you in a different way. Giving false information to the police can be a crime, although it is not often prosecuted. Get to a lawyer for speciifics as there seems to be a lot more here than not wanting to rat on a friend....
