AITAH for leaving my brother to call our parents after he got taken to the police station?

My (22F) brother (27M) called me from the police station 4 days ago, asking me to come pick him up because he got arrested for drunk driving and didn’t want our parents to know

I refused. I told him that I had to get ready for work and didn’t have the time to drive by the police station.

He answered that I could still take 5 minutes for my brother. I said no, I can’t, because if I take 5 minutes then I’ll be late for work.

He still insisted on me coming to pick him up because he didn’t want to call our parents, I answered that if he didn’t want to have to call our parents from the PS, then he shouldn’t have gotten drunk and drive and I hung up.

I received a text from him around 10AM, saying that what I did was fucked up, that he had to call our parent at 6AM and that they were super mad at him. But I’ve surprisingly also received a text from my mom, telling me that although she’s not happy about my brother, I still should of had picked him up because family is family and more important than work

My dad, him, told me to not feel guilty about anything and that they would’ve found out eventually

I still feel a little bit guilty because now my brother’s refusing to speak to me until I apologize.

AITAH?
