But is it arrest-arrest? Or: now we know where Whoopi went; to the Colorado Supreme Court, apparently.
The short version is, in Colorado, police investigating a domestic violence incident have a duty to arrest. That happened, but the man was never Mirandized. The appeals court agree, but the Colorado SC disagreed, essentially saying that even though officers made it clear that the man was going to jail; telling him he was going to be arrested no less than 4 different times, that it wasn't "formal" arrest (whatever that means), and therefore, the cops had no duty to Mirandize.
