It refers to Penal Code 849(b)(1).

That is when somebody is arrested, but itis later deemed to be a detention only. They could be released because they were arrested for drunk in public and it wasn't worth it to prosecute, they could hav determined later there wasn't enough to pursue a criminal case for whatever reason...

Bottom line - somebody was arrested, but got "un-arrested" by being released pursuant to 849(b)(1).
