Yes to both questions. Penal code 837 provides for citizens to "arrest another". Technically, in your case, it is the "woman" who is making the arrest; the officer is simply "taking you into custody". Although the Penal Code provide for citizens to arrest another it is rarely done because of possible legal consequences.

Again, yes the "woman" will have to be present and testify at your trial because she is the one who witnessed the alleged offense.

What was the code section you were cited for violating?
That is only if the arrest was made at the request of the probate citizen. For all we know the cops made the arrest on their own observations



im trying to figure out how the officers ripped the op and passenger from the truck when in the sentence immediately prior to describing that act, the op had “left”


op also makes a statement that “the woman” had directed the op to move their truck. Op claims to have been stuck in traffic for 2 1/2 hours so I’m not understanding who was directing op to move their truck and of they were stuck in traffic, how were they supposed to move their truck and to where.

Given the recitation is a chain of non sequiturs, I don’t see how any conclusion can be made regarding the situation.
