Arrested, Not Charged For Ovi. Do I Need To Do Anything Further?

Location: Ohio, USA

I was stopped for speeding (76 in a 65, fml) in Ohio and the state trooper who pulled me over suspected I was driving under the influence. I hadn’t drank since about 6 hours before I was pulled over, and knew I was sober, but the anxiety and the 0 degree windchill got to me and I didn’t do the best job on the field sobriety tests. He specifically said my eyes were making a jerky motion and my eyes were red.

I asked repeatedly to just use a breathalyzer so we could get things cleared up, but he didn’t have one in his vehicle. I was arrested, handcuffed, and brought down to the station to do a breathalyzer there, and blew less than 0.02. The officer then drove me back to my car without saying anything about what would happened next.

I’ve never been arrested before, I’ve only ever been pulled over once before, and am just confused on if I should have gotten any documentation on the arrest or the traffic stop. Do I need to worry about any charges? Will the arrest show up on my record for any background checks or for my car insurance? I’m still just so shaken by the whole thing but want to make sure I’m not leaving myself open to legal issues in the future. Really appreciate any advice!
