He wasn't arrested after blowing 0.02%. He was arrested for failing a field sobriety test, after the ranger observed him doing at least one of the shots. He also refused a breathalyzer at the scene. (if the news accounts were correct)
Once at the station after being brought in is when he blew the .02. His BAC surely dropped from the time he was first approached and when the test was administered, but unless he sat around for hours, I doubt he was ever approaching a 0.08.
Could've been a belligerent ranger dealing with an even more belligerent celebrity.

Drinking in a prohibited are while in control of a vehicle.
He didn't take any field sobriety test and was not legally obligated to do so. I hate Springsteen, but this cop was out of line for arresting him for DWI.
I’m sorry, I now see that he may have taken and failed some of the field sobriety tests. Perhaps it was only the field breathalyzer that he didn’t take.
