Short answer? Yes. All the police need is "probable cause" to arrest. That's a fairly low standard. Will that be enough to convict? That depends on the charges and what other evidence there is.

Of course. That is how almost all criminal charges start. If it is you getting arrested, feel free to contact me if serious about hiring counsel, quickly before you blab to the police.
