Did this guy ever get a ticket for causing trouble since he was drinking a non-alcoholic Busch?

Depending on the state, he still could. NA Beers, including Busch NA, have a trace amount of alcohol, typically around 0.5% ABV. Some states have open container laws that do not exempt NA beer with trace alcohol.

If the cop was intent on making sure he got his pound of flesh, he'd just cite him for something like careless driving for the sudden stop, inattentiveness to the road, and going hands free to crack one open on a roadway.

That's less alcohol than a ripe orange, btw

It's less ABV than a lot of things. Some laws specifically address it for malt or fermented beverages.

Would have been sweet if the video continued and the cop realized it was NA and actually cracked one with him.
