[URL="http://wiki.darkrp.com/index.php/Main_Page"]DarkRP[/URL] wiki has a lot of great information.

It doesn't look like the wiki has a hook or function for this but you could make your little workaround:

local arrested = {}

local function getArrestTime(ply)
	local time = CurTime() - arrested[ply:SteamID()][2]
	if time > arrested[ply:SteamID()][1] then
		return 0
	else
		return time
	end
end

hook.Add("playerArrested", "arrestTime", function(criminal, time, arrestor)
	arrested[criminal:SteamID()] = {time, CurTime()}
end)

This code has to be ran serverside. Also, you should post this in developer discussion next time.

It is untested because I don't have DarkRP installed BUT it seems like it will work. If it throws any errors, post them here.
