Gomer is outraged when Barney, dressed in civilian clothes, gives him a ticket for making a U-turn. Barney imperiously declares that he is within his rights to make a citizen's arrest. When Barney makes the same illegal traffic maneuver, it is Gomer's turn to shout "Citizen's array-est! Citizen's array-est!"-thereby starting the ball rolling for a clash of egos which culminates in Barney's resignation. Written by Jim Fritzell and Everett Greenbaum, "Citizen's Arrest" was originally slated to air on December 9, 1963, but was moved to December 16 to accommodate "A Date for Gomer", which itself had been rescheduled from its original November 25 airdate.
