Can I get a ticket in the mail?

[Xvk22]

I was at a party with about 80 people. I had one drink and my buddy and I decided to leave but I got in the drivers seat out of habit. He was going to be my DD. We were also boxed in by cars so their is no way we can go anywhere. Two trucks full of cops roll up and cop comes up to my window asks how old I am (19), what I had to drink, and who my parents were. I blew a 0.02 and was told I could leave. I feel as if I got away to easy and I should be expecting a ticket of some sort. I never gave him my ID. All he knows is my name and parents name, and I was in my vehicle so I guess he could have gotten my tag number. My question is, could I receive a ticket in the mail? He didn't write anything down from what I could tell. Any advice is apprecIated. I live in Mississippi.

Could you get a ticket? Possibly.

I know it is possible, but I mean.. It seems kind of unlikely to me. The engagement between the officer and myself was like 30 seconds and then I drove away. I feel he would have at least told me I was getting a ticket? I

Well, it was probably longer than 30 seconds if a breathalyzer test was administered.

I imagine if there were 800 people at the party, the officers were pretty busy locating all offenders. The officer probably gathered from you only the information he needed to support a minor in possession charge and send you a ticket.

If a ticket arrives in the mail for you, you might want to consider consulting with an attorney (and, if your parents don't already know about the party, now might be a good time for you to tell them).
