There is a huge difference between an arrest and a conviction. That is not quibbling. How can you answer a question honestly if you don't read the exact wording. Sheesh.
For the record, the application asks about convictions, not arrests.
The OP implies that he was sanctioned for a "Wet and Reckless." It sounds like it is a Violation, rather than a MSD or Felony.
It is in an applicant's interest to answer the "Conviction" question affirmatively, then explain further. Anything else, and one can be perceived as dishonest.
