Arrested

The police have been known to arrest burglars but they do not arrest playable Sims in The Sims or The Sims 2.

When a Sim calls a false alarm to the police they get a warning or fined. The police will also pick up runaway teens and return them home.

The Sims 3
You can get arrested on The Sims 3 if you work in the criminal career. While in jail you can choose to sit there,work out,meet friends,or play domino's. Also if kids or teens are in town over curfew a police car will take them and they will be escorted home.
