Detained is pretty commonly used. Arrested means you are charged and being booked for committing a crime. Detained is like you are forced to come in for questioning

*criminal justice major voice* the police detain someone when they temporary keep them from being “free to go” because of reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. if you’re held at a station or jail and only detained, you likely are getting interrogated and/or you are not safe to be left outside, more than likely. the police arrest someone when they formally accuse someone of a crime and take them into custody to be booked, based on probable cause (specific charges aren’t final until court)

I mean specifically for like a Espn headline, like i remember distinctly mark sanchez getting arrested. most of the time it’s arrested but the technical term is detained i know

Espn could get in serious trouble for saying arrested when someone is actually just detained. Those words are not interchangable and Disney is pretty good at avoiding defamation suits

mark sanchez was arrested sometime while in the hospital i think as the police were formally pressing charges by then, looks like rn they don’t know enough about the moore situation to press or not press charges, or it was too chaotic, or something. we’ll have to wait to see, they’ll probably be tight lipped because of the high profileness and to protect a likely victim’s identity
