In the manner of the way the actual arrest goes down, very little. The one major difference between arresting for a felony versus arresting for a misdemeanor, is that for a warrantless arrest of a misdemeanant the officer must have atually witnessed the misdmeanor offense take place in order to make the arrest. The only exception to this would be (in jurisdictions that have such offenses) there are certain so-called "Probable Cause Misdemeanors" for which an arrest can be made even if the officer didn't observe them take place.
