You're arrested for suspicion of a crime, or detained for questioning under suspicion of a crime. In either case you can, or can not be, handcuffed. Bush was, and finally acknowledges, that he was arrested for driving drunk. I didn't even do what I was detained for, but I was handcuffed, fingerprinted, strip-searched, thrown in the clink, denied OR, and finally released, because "oops" they had the wrong person. The actions you describe do not decide whether it is and arrest or a detention, nor how it appears on your record. The fact it was so long ago might make it irrelevant. That's an argument that I could possibly go with. I do think he would have served his cause more by bringing it forward himself. It is, afterall, a matter of record available to anyone who searched closely enough.
