Just to straighten this out a bit...a Citizen's Arrest, more commonly referred to as a "PP" Private Person's arrest, is used in cases where the crime committed has been perpetrated in front of a "Person" not a law enforcement officer. Hence, it is the Person making this Arrest that will be called to court to offer testimony if it comes to that, (very often used in Shoplifting arrests)
I can't speak for Vermont but in Calif, there is no such thing as a Citizen's arrest for a Felony...all Felony arrest are made by Law enforcement...the person arresting is the Officer and the Citizen then becomes a Witness to all events leading up to the Probable Cause to make such an arrest.
A bit more complicated than stated but certainly does not have to raise to a Felony to make a Private Person's arrest.
