Individual jurisdictions laws may vary but the primary thing needed for an arrest is a warrant signed by a judge who found sufficient cause for the arrest. Physical evidence may not be required if there is sufficient witness statements. Some standard exceptions to requiring a warrant are, a law enforcement officer witnesses a criminal act, the probability of destruction of evidence, immanent harm to others or the target of the arrest. A warrant for an arrest and a warrantless arrest are based on probable cause, which is based on the opinion of the officers or magistrate. The probable cause must be adequate to sustain the scrutiny of a court.

Added: SHORT ANSWER - the only thing necessary is PROBABLE CAUSE on the part of the officer that you committed an offense.

How do you get a public intoxacation and resisting arrest charge off of your record?

Criminal arrests and convictions are a permanent part of your criminal record. An arrest or conviction can be expunged or sealed under certain exceptional conditions. It is not often done. The process varies from one state to another, and involves making a petition to the court that presided over the original arrest and/or conviction. The court will usually consider the circumstances of the original arrest, and the conduct of the person arrested since then. Generally, a substantial amount of time has to have passed since the original arrest, and the arrestee must have been a model citizen since. Sealing or expungement of a conviction does not allow you to omit this information from many background investigation processes. A pardon of a previous conviction eliminates the consequences of the conviction, such as restoration of civil rights, but does not remove the conviction from your record.
