All law enforcement officers - such as police officers, county sheriff officers, investigators in a district attorney's or an attorney general's offices and highway patrol officers - can arrest you whether they are on or off duty, in most cases.

In most cases, it is caused by a sudden arrhythmia, such as ventricular fibrillation, in which the heart's electrical impulses create a dangerous and chaotic heart rhythm. When this happens, the victim collapses and quickly loses consciousness as blood flow to the brain is stopped. Unless a normal heart rhythm is restored within minutes, the victim will die or will suffer brain damage.

Why doesn't someone arrest the suspect in my case and book them in jail?

Officers investigate to build a case that proves a suspect guilty by the evidence and/or and by the admissions of the suspect involved.
