i don't think so - they would have to have reasons and an arrest warrant to arrest you
Added; Given the circumstances as stated on the discussion page, they could not legally take you into custody on that warrant given the amount of conflicting information. HOWEVER - if there was some other reason for them to take you into custody (i.e.: you obstructed them - or were in the commission of a separate and un-related offense) they could take you into custody based on THAT situation, separate from the warrant service.
