Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

I got a ticket for "furnishing alcohol to a person under 21" and the situation was such that I was not supplying to anyone. I acknowledge that I should have received an open intoxicant charge however, The alcohol was in the back of the car with my 20 year old friend as the cap came off of a half empty beer bottle and spilled into my backpack and I was trying to save my sheet music. None had been consumed within the past hour and none of the three other minors present had consumed any alcohol whatsoever. We were not arrested or mirandized and now the attorney claims the policewill come back to mirandize everyone in the car and charge them with minors in possession. We were told that we were not being mirandized or taken to jail because the officer had decided to be lenient. How is it the police can come back and make charges and arrests when they didn't report them at the time. Myself and the 20 year old were issued tickets but they were not given to us by the officer who wrote them up, and he never offered his name. How can we keep him from deciding to ruin 3 more minors' reputations and have my charges reduced to the appropriate ones?
