If you're called to active duty and you fail to repair, yes. If you simply miss your UTAs, you won't be arrested.

AWOL
Being arrested is what happens when you act like a hooligan.
Yes The National Guard is a military orginization and you have made a commitment to it. They can and will send you to Jail if you go AWOL Some things to clarify here... the only time you can actually be AWOL from a National Guard unit is when that unit is federally activated under orders which transfer the command from the National Guard to the Regular Army... ipso facto, it's technically not possible to be AWOL from the National Guard, since the unit is no longer National Guard when activated in such a fashion. If you miss UTAs, that's not treated as AWOL.
He can be courtmartialed for being AWOL (Absent Without Leave). And unlike active duty, you wont go to jail, you will bedishonorablydischarged and it will be a hefty stain on your record.
AWOL = Away With Out Leave
Being AWOL - means you have left somewhere that you were expected to be - without permission. It's typically applied to the armed forces, especially the army. If a soldier leaves the base without authorisation - he is considered AWOL, and would be disciplined on either his return, or capture !
Being arrested means being taken into custody by law enforcement, while being convicted means being found guilty of a crime by a court of law. An arrest is the initial step in the criminal justice process, while a conviction represents a formal judgement of guilt.
