Answer the question honestly. You were arrested. It also asks if you were convicted. If I remember correctly, there's a block where you can write a narrative about what happened & why. Don't stress about it. Water under the bridge. Now deal with it with maturity and honesty.
Remember, these are regular people who review these things. They aren't ogres that try to find every little nit to pick or any little "gotcha". I can't read minds, but the officers that I've worked with would look at this and see a stupid 15 year old who ran into a music festival. Yup, bad judgement, but not all that surprising for a 15 year old. Now, if you did this at 17 or 18, I can see where there may be more concern.
In any case, you won't know if it will affect you until you fill out the paperwork and it gets reviewed.
