I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stopped' is the definition.
(arrest can mean to stop or obstruct)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for arrested that I've seen before include "Checked" , "Stopped or slowed down progress" , "Stopped - took into custody" , "Taken into police custody" , "'Collared, nabbed, copped, (8)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and The Irish Times.
