I was super nice to the officer during the interview. No attitude there or anything. I was just unprepared to provide detailed responses to a general question: "Have you ever been arrested"? I said "yes". Nothing more. After recognizing he wanted more details, I started to go into them in general terms - like I was riding my bike, decided not to stop when ordered to do so. But then he seemed to want me to tell him every single charge I was charged with. I don't remember these. He started listing them. So I said yes, OK, but dismissed.

Frankly this interview, or this interviewer was just setting up some kind of trap. Had the whole record in front of his computer screen and expects me to read it back to him.

A disgusting aspect of the USA border service. Now I understand why foreigners often hate the entry process.
