The phrase "arrested some time" is not correct in standard written English as it lacks clarity and specificity.
It could be used in a context where you want to indicate that someone was arrested at an unspecified time, but it would need additional context to be clear.
Example: "The suspect was arrested some time last week, but the exact date is unclear."
Alternatives: "arrested at an unspecified time" or "taken into custody recently."
