Not necessarily. There are many degrees and classifications of Misdemeanor crimes. ANY violation of the law (felony OR misdemeanor) is, in theory, an "arrestable" offense, however in some crimes (i.e. - traffic offenses - minor possession - etc) they are handled by citations. It depends on the laws of the particular jurisdiction, the policy's of the law enforcement agency involved, or even the situation existing at the time the offense is acted upon by the law enforcement officer.
