Should I be worried if I've been arrested but didn't get a ticket from the police officer?

More details to this question:
We live in Michigan, my girlfriend was out and got pulled over. She admitted she had a small amount, 2 grams, of pot in her pocket. The officer searched the car and arrested her friend for possession and breaking probation. He told her not to drive home. She didn't get a ticket from the officer, should we be worried? Is it possible we will just get court summons in the mail?

It is possible but probably not likely. They can always file charges against you as long as the statute of limitations has not expired.

They may send the dope to the lab to be tested first before any warrant is issued. You may get a letter.

It is possible that the police are seeking a criminal warrant and will notify you once it is obtained. However, you could be arrested once this happens. Talk to a lawyer about your options.

Yes, but doubtful. If she gets a ticket engage an attorney immediately. In the mean time talk with no one.
