Lewandowski appeared Tuesday morning at the Jupiter Police Department at the Department's request, police and Trump campaign officials said. Trump's campaign denied that Lewandowski was arrested. "Mr. Lewandowski was issued a Notice to Appear and given a court date. He was not arrested," the campaign said in an unsigned statement.Donald Trump Campaign Manager Charged for Grabbing Reporter | Time.com | March 29, 2016But a spokesperson for the Jupiter Police Department told TIME that there's no difference. "A notice to appear is an arrest," said Adam Brown, the spokesman. "Mr. Lewandowski was released with a Notice to Appear in court."
A traffic infraction, ticket, is a summons to court - a notice to appear. Is one arrested when one gets a ticket? You will get arrested (in the common and ordinary use of that word) if you don't sign the ticket!
So we’re clear here. An accused can turn himself in without having the police issue a warrant for their arrest. They were gracious enough to allow that to occur. I fully assume from the issue that had he not turned himself in they would have issued a warrant and went to arrest him.

With all due respect to Trump’s campaign there is a difference between being arrested and then afterwards being issued a notice to appear. When he comes in the police tell him he is being arrested and being charged because they have probable cause. He would be given his Miranda warning. After processing they give him his notice to appear.
