Can the state of Tennessee arrest you for a misdemeanor and then charge you with a felony when you go to court?
Lmkpeters
Yes, as can any state. The situation is that the law enforcement agent on the scene may have effected an arrest due to given violation of law, that while meeting the criterion for a misdemeanor, later was seen to meet the criterion for charging as a felony.
Example: You could be arrested for "disturbing the peace", due to you screaming loudly outside a store, but then later be charged with "drunk and disorderly", due to an alcohol test coming back positive. Or still later be charged with attempted robbery, if they found a gun on you and a diary in which you stated your plans to rob that very store.
