Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

I was arrested for having drugs ($50 dollars worth of meth & a pipe) I was cuffed,and taken to the city's police station (not the county) booked, met with a detective. He told me I was being charged with a 5th degree felony narcotic possession. I was released 4 hours later (no bail required), and told I would get a court summons in the mail. It has been over 2 months and nothing has come? I have a clean criminal backround, this is my first offense.
