Not Really....a citizen's Arrest can only be made IF you actually Witness a crime being Committed....not think he might be going to commit a crime.
Each state, with the exception of North Carolina, permits citizen arrests if the commission of a felony is
witnessed by the arresting citizen, or when a citizen is asked to assist in the apprehension of a suspect by police. The application of state laws varies widely with respect to misdemeanors, breaches of the peace, and felonies not witnessed by the arresting party. For example, Arizona law allows a citizen's arrest if the arrestor has personally witnessed the offense occurring.[37]
I don't think a citizen's arrest can be used in this case... I think it will all boil down to who is deemed the Antagonist
