Nicked — stopped (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrested

(Other definitions for arrested that I've seen before include "stalled" , "Apprehended and taken into custody" , "Apprehended by police" , "Stopped or slowed down progress" , "'Collared, nabbed, copped, (8)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
