If you've been taken into custody and are no longer free to walk away, you've been arrested. The U.S. Constitution authorizes arrests only if the police have "probable cause" to believe that a crime was committed and that the suspect is responsible. Probable cause is a loose standard and even if a person ends up being innocent, if the police had probable case then the arrest is constitutional.

It depends on the specific case and the specific jurisdiction, but it is common for an arrest to happen a year later because 1) it took that long for the police to uncover enough evidence to sustain an arrest or 2) they couldn't find you.
