Arrested means stopped and prevented from leaving by a law  
enforcement officer.

The layman may assume it means being handcuffed; taken to jail, etc.

However, if you are stopped and running would equate to resisting  
arrest (of the non-violent variety), then you were definitely  
arrested, even if you only received a citation at the end.
