Sue any criminal that's worried (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uneasy

'worried' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'sue any criminal' is the wordplay.
'criminal' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sue'+'any'='sueany'
'sueany' with letters rearranged gives 'UNEASY'.

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for uneasy that I've seen before include "Restless, troubled" , "'Nervous, unsettled (6)'" , "Anxious, nervous" , "Jumpy" , "Tense, edgy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the Irish Times.
