You can be arrested without proof if the police have probable cause to believe a crime was committed. In the case of shoplifting, if a store employee or witness claims they saw you steal something, the police may consider that enough reason to arrest you. However, they are not necessarily required...

Don’t bring anything up with the DA/AG. Pay the loan back and if you cannot, contact the company to modify it/make a payment plan. They have way bigger fish to fry.
