If you want to re-ask or re-phrase that “capable” question, go ahead. I am saying that the police were capable to eventually make the arrest, they just hadn’t been able to up to that point.
I meant as in, were they capable at that time. In other words, if the DA had asked “Can you arrest this person right now?”, what would they have said?
Did the crime involve the criminal ending up with something of value which legitimately belonged to someone else?
Did the crime involve destruction of someone else’s property, and/or of the value of that property?

No
So the man was “in hiding”, but it would still have been possible for the police to arrest him even before they flushed him out? Was he in some sort of sanctuary situation, where his arrest would have been possible but bad politics/PR?
So the man didn’t realize he would be arrested when he came out of hiding. Is this because
He was not hiding from the police?
He didn’t expect the police to be at wherever he was going?
He didn’t know the police were aware of his crime?
+++++++

Is the medical condition involved …
Contagious?
Sexually transmitted?
Associated with substance abuse?
Typically fatal without treatment?
A condition that causes sensory impairment (blindness, deafness, etc.)?
A condition that causes impaired mobility?
Was the person who supposedly had the condition one of the arresting officers?
Was this person aware that an attempt to arrest the criminal was going on?
Did the attempt require this person’s collaboration?
I know almost nothing about the medical condition. Not even the details of what it was supposed to be.
Ask about the crime, not just the incorrect medical information.
