I'm a police officer. In most staaes its a misdemeanor to impersonate a police officer. Just by saying you were off duty you were impersonating a police officer. They don't have to do a "custodial" arrest. I'm sure they took your information and wrote a report. We forward the report to the prosecutor, he determines if charges will be filed. They could have made a custodial arrest but it sounds like they were a little lazy (count your blessings) to do the report, pc affidavit & information for paperwork. You might want to see the prosecutor, they won't tell you over the phone. They don't want you running. They still had a job to do with the leaving the scene of an accident so I would check with the department to see if they have that report for your insurance.
