Direct answer

To arrest Michael, bring police into the match, get Dr. Loomis or a player-controlled Sheriff's Deputy active, keep Michael near authority figures until his handcuff or detention meter fills, knock him down, and complete the Arrest interaction before he recovers. A successful attempt ends the match with Michael detained and returned to Smith's Grove.

Step-by-step sequence

  1. Build police presence. Use phones and resident interactions to call for help while the team gathers weapons and control items.
  2. Create an authority role. After a player dies, spectator actions can lead to a return as a Sheriff's Deputy; the team can also bring Dr. Loomis into the match under the map's support sequence.
  3. Keep Michael in the arrest zone. Position Loomis, deputies, or police close enough for the handcuff indicator to fill. Do not chase Michael away from the officers.
  4. Save stuns for the correct state. Weapons, throws, firearms, and flashlights can help control or knock him down, but an early knockdown does not replace a full detention meter.
  5. Down Michael after the meter is ready. Have the arresting player close before the knockdown so the short window is not spent running across the street.
  6. Use Arrest and finish its input sequence. Complete the interaction before Michael gets up. Other players should protect the arresting player and maintain control.
