arrestable
Subject to apprehension
Arrestable describes an offense or person for which arrest is legally permitted.
An arrestable offense is serious enough to warrant taking someone into custody, as opposed to issuing a citation.
A person becomes arrestable when they've committed such an offense or have an outstanding warrant: He became arrestable the moment he violated his parole.
