I cant imagine any police department arresting you under those circumstances. Arrest for what?

Are you in the process of a divorce? Is there an injunction preventing you from using the vehicle? If not, then he has no right. Now, if you are not in a divorce, then you probably should be. If he has the gall to do something like that, he should be your ex-husband. Why would you pick such a nit wit to marry?

Civil dispute, if any. Why would the police be involved?

He'd have to convince the police that you were trying to steal it. Otherwise, they will just tell you to return it.

A husband cannot have you arrested. He can make a complaint to the authorities, who, if they deem it a crime, might then arrest you. It is up to the authorities to determine if a crime has been committed. It is highly unlikely, given your facts, that the authorities would deem you potentially guilty of a crime. Hence you likely would not be arrested.

I do not think the cops are going to arrest you under these circumstances. Who's name is on the title?

Yes, but are you on the title? Technically if you are not, he could probably file a police report. However, given that you are still married and the car is probably community property, I am not sure if the police will want to get involved.

No, he can not have you arrested for simply driving the vehicle.
