OP, If you're concerned, call the court and make sure you don't have a ticket. Give it a week. Tickets can be cancelled after the fact relatively easy. For a handwritten ticket (i use both handwritten or my e-ticket writer) simply change the citation box to a warning box. It's not tampering since it hasn't been filed, it's still the officer's discretion.
For an e-ticket I can go back in and void it.
Nothing seems fishy to me at all. I've cancelled tickets after the fact for a few different reasons.
