Yesterday I was arrested for fraudulent use of a credit card. It all started when a co worker picked up a card that was lost an purchased some items with the card but I was with her didn't know the card was lost or stolen but, this is my first offense never got into trouble a day in my life except for traffic vilations I have a clean backgound an I worked at the place where the card was stolen from for 4 years so what do you think is going to happen, cause she told the detective that I didn't use the card I never touched it so would I go to jail?

If you didn't actually use the card and your coworker can verify that, you probably won't get in much trouble. Certainly put on your record but jail is unlikely. When the charges are actually filed, your lawyer should be able to get them dismissed easily enough. You may never even need to go to court.
I would find new friends.

It all depends, if the DA does not believe the friend, or finds evidence that you knew. And of course as long as the stores are repaid for all of the items taken.
Most likely probation, a good attorney may even get the case dropped
