The police may have video, a witness, or you may have even admitted to driving the vehicle. Retain a good criminal lawyer to handle the matter.

Well not normally but I would have to see the police reports to answer this.

If they have sufficient evidence, they can arrest. Whether there is sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction is another question. You need a lawyer.

Yes they can, via circumstantial evidence, probably from your own mouth, too.

Yes, you can be arrested for DUI even if the police officers did not personally witness you driving.

Cops can and do arrest people all the time and hope to coerce you into admitted guilt and not fighting the charges. The video and any live witnesses may be enough to convict you, but it's a weak case.
