Crossword Genius

Pulled in and stopped (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrested

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pulled in' is the first definition.
(arresting is a kind of pulling in)

'stopped' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for arrested that I've seen before include "Taken into custody or stopped" , "on the way to . . . [PRISON] ?" , "Detained by legal authority" , "Stopped - took into custody" , "Stopped or slowed down development" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
