Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.

The handler and dog are considered a team. Most departments require the handler to board, feed, and care for the dog off duty. Typically there is a small stipend provided to the officer for this time, food and supplies. Rarely does that stipend cover everything the human puts into the care of the dog.

I'd suggest considering is a learning experience. You are not likely to be in any trouble if what you have described is true. However, it could have all gone very badly for you.
I was in a similar situation once when I was in college. I rode in a (unknown to me) stolen car with the friend of a friend. The driver (unknown to me) was wanted for murder. It wasn't until two days after that ride I learned about him and the car. It taught me a valuable lesson about who to catch rides with.

I assume your roommate is underage. If so, you can still get in trouble, but probably only if he/she does something stupid such as gets alcohol poisoning, gets hurt while intoxicated, is DUI, etc. There could be some pretty heavy reprecusions for that.
