Crossword Genius

Under arrest and looking haggard (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pinched

This clue is a double definition.

'under arrest' is the first definition.
(pinched can mean arrested)

'looking haggard' is the second definition.
(pinched can mean haggard or stressed)

'and' acts as a link.

(Another definition for pinched that I've seen is " Haggard".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
