People are not arrested for debt in the U.S. People are arrested when probable cause exists to believe they have committed a serious crime. You don't indicate that you committed a crime. You indicate that you haven't paid back a debt. That's not a crime. Thus, you won't be arrested for failing to pay that money back.

There may be consequences for that course of action, but arrest is not one of them.

Good luck. That's just general information for educational purposes, not legal advice. I don't hold Pennsylvania law licensure. If you need legal advice, please consult a lawyer who practices in Pennsylvania.
