The best arrest from law & order season 1

In the collection of the best arrests in Season 1 shared with the official “Law & Order” YouTube channel, the most viewed clip, at 7 min 25 sec, is a moment in Episode 14 where Sergeant Max Greevey (George Dzundza, who left after Season 1) arrested a man who was recently branded as a rapist by his accomplices. Of course, the theme in the moment is dark, and hardly any arrest is cause for celebration. That said, certain details of this scene, outside of the story, help make it the highlight of some of the best arrests from the first season of “Law & Order”.

Chief among the things that make a scene compelling is its setting. Criminal Tim Pruiting (Al Shannon) lives in a trendy New York apartment, where he happens to hide drug paraphernalia in his bedsheets, giving his character a much more youthful feel than he does. with many criminals introduced throughout the season. Furthermore, his revealing girlfriend is shown by Erika Jayne in her second role in “Law and Order” Part 1. Jayne would go on to star as “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” instilling the character with much greater meaning than when she first aired the episode.

The moment is memorable, for both the luxury apartment scene and the future career of one of its bit players, equating to what is arguably the best arrest in the whole “Law & Order” Part 1.
