You don't state what charge you might be arrested for.  However, police need some probable cause for an arrest.  The officers would look at all the evidence in the case and if there was probable cause, could arrest you.  However, conviction requires a higher standard- beyond a reasonable doubt.  Police may arrest you, but the county attorney could refuse to prosecute your case realizing that he may not be able to obtain a conviction.  You need to contact a local attorney to analyze the evidence and facts in the case and to protect your rights.
