Yes,it can happen. O.J. Simpson got arrested for the same crime 3 times!!
Answer
No. A person cannot be arrested for the same crime twice because of the Fifth Amendment which states: "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
Yes, but he or she can only be tried in a court of law once for the crime for which they have been accused.
