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.
