Musician from America arrested by inspectors, I suspect (13)
I believe the answer is:
percussionist
'musician' is the definition.
(percussionist is a kind of musician)
'america arrested by inspectors i suspect' is the wordplay.
'america' becomes 'US' (United States).
'arrested by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are held or arrested).
'suspect' indicates anagramming the letters (a suspicious or unusual spelling).
'inspectors'+'i'='inspectorsi'
'inspectorsi' is an anagram of 'percsionist'.
'us' inserted inside 'percsionist' is 'PERCUSSIONIST'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for percussionist that I've seen before include "Striking musician" , "Orchestral member" , "Banger" .)
