The police can detain you for any number of reasons. Whether they formally charge you or not is up to them at the end of their investigation.

Your question should be whether the arrest was lawful because an arrest occurs when an officer takes someone into custody. A judge must answer this queation after a hearing on all
the facs and circumstances of the arrest.
