More details to this question:
I got put in the back of a police car without handcuffs because they ran out. I was taken to the station where they took photos of me and did a breathalyzer test on me. I'm being charged with underage and possession because I am 18. I was never in a cell though.

Oh yes you certainly were. Ever heard of the right to remain silent? Guess not.

You were under arrest since you were unable to leave the station. If you were not ticketed at the time, expect to be so by mail.
