N-400: Part 12, Question 23 help

I plan to file for Naturalization this year. However...

...back in 2005, I was on a J-1 visa and visited family abroad. During the trip I realized I didn't have the supplementary paperwork for my visa. Upon returning to the U.S. without this paperwork, I was subjected to secondary questioning. After it was confirmed all was satisfactory (my in-laws (they weren't at the time) had the paperwork in arrivals), I was permitted to enter without issue.

My question - would the above scenario constitute a 'yes' and explanation to part 12, question 23:

Have you ever been arrested, cited, or detained by any law enforcement officer (including any immigration official or any official of the U.S. armed forces) for any reason?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
