I am reading the book *The Wild Hog Murders *by Bill Crider and I just came
to a part where someone asks the sheriff about making a citizen's arrest.
Here is the dialog.
"Whatever. Anyway, you said it yourself back at the jail. You're not a
peace officer. You can't arrest any
From Neal Bower’s “Mayberry 101” comes this explanation of Gomer’s comment to
Barney in the Citizen’s Arrest episode:
The phrase was apparently first introduced on television in the 1963 episode of
The Andy Griffith Show. It was put in the “Citizens Arrest” script by show
writer Everette
Mr. Wimberly, Barney didn't say the quote, it was Gomer. The episode was
Citizen's Arrest. Gomer tells Barney ?You just go up an alley and holler
fish.? This was after Barney gave Gomer a ticket for making a U-Turn.
Not sure what it means.

This is a very informative article that explains the phrase in detail -

Howard should've ignored with a grin. Andy didn't arrest him cuz in
those days, men were allowed to settle their differences without the law
jumping in all the time. Would that it would be the same today IMHO
I was watching the color episode where Opie was trying to get a job to pay for
his bike repairs. Andy came into the house and was talking about his day and
how bad it was. He mentioned that Otis had gotten a snoot full and drove his
car into a ditch or something. I thought that Otis had said
Eric, not only did Otis get arrested on Sept 23, 1941, he was also arrested in
a very early episode "Ellie Runs For City Council", for hitting his
mother-in-law in the mouth with a leg of lamb.When Otis tries to leave the
courthouse, Andy reminds him that he is under arrest.
I caught an apparent contradiction concerning Otis being arrested. On 'The
Rehabilitation of Otis" he indignantly protested to Barney that he had never
been arrested while Barney was slapping on handcuffs.
On a few episodes later, "The Punch in the Nose" Andy finds a file in the
courthouse that
Is it any wonder Howard was arrested for possession of drugs. Why, with
all that medication he has for his deviated septum and nasal conditions, he
is a regular walking pharmacy. But have no fear, I have a feeling his
mother bailed him out. Probably the whole thing got started from when he

This is real BIG. I opened the local newspaper this morning and while
glancing at the police news, one item caught my attention. Howard
Sprague, 53, was arrested and charged with possession of drugs. It's
true (at least here). His court case is scheduled for next week. I'll
bet his mother doesn't

I just listened to the DVD on Netflix and on that one Otis says Wally's
Filling Station.
Maybe someone else can testify they heard it too on the TV Land version?
Though I am not doubting you Dave.
Maybe it was corrected later on the DVD's version Netflix has?

"I could swear he tells Barney who is in the other cell that Floyd's filling
station was robbed."
Dave, I can see how it sounded like that, but if you listen carefully, he
actually says "Wally's filling station has been robbed."
By the way, Amazon Video (amazon.com) has all the seasons of TAGS,
I was watching Citizens arrest on Tvland this morning. In the scene where Otis
comes out of his cell and answers the phone call from Gomer I could swear he
tells Barney who is in the other cell that Floyd's filling station was robbed.
I don't have the DVD so I can't go back and

No, not the episode with Gomer running around yelling "citizens arrest" , but
the episode with Barneys Uniform.
Andy is warning Fred Plummer about Barneys Judo experience.
While he's doing this Andy is nonchantly eating grapes sitting out in front of

a hand-held cell

felt like making a citizen’s arrest, just like Gomer Pyle on The Andy Griffith

Did you hear about Barney's latest arrest? Well, it seems Mrs. Ambrose
brought in little Jeremy for Barney to watch while she was shopping.
No sooner did she hand Jeremy to Barney and leave when poor little Jeremy
messed his diaper. Well this really upset old Barney Boy, so he went after

I know I know, Otis was first arrested Sept. 23 1941 at 2:00pm at the Mayberry
garden club flower show. He was passed out in somebodies poppies. And the
reason I know Mr Schump told me. He was standing in a stag line. If you don't
believe him check episode 152 "a punch in the nose". Personally

I heard on the radio today that the TV critic's column of the USA Today paper
mentioned the "Citizen's Arrest" show on TV Land. It said to be sure and watch
the classic comedy of Don Knotts and Jim Nabors. (It never gets old, does it.)
"Citizen's arrest, citizen
Signs in

Yesterday in the La Crosse Tribune there was a story of "Citizen's Arrest
Not Legal Here" Evidently a man who was a former security guard, and now a
truck driver found a young man lurking in his yard. He caught him, and
cuffed him.He admitted he needed money and was looking for
ere's laws against littering. Citizens
Arrest, Citizens Arrest!!!
