Because it's a misdemeanor and the police didn't witness it?


Law enforcement generally have the authority to arrest for offenses that they witness and for felonies based on probable cause. Every State has a few exceptions to the misdemeanor rule for things like assaults committed against family members but the general rule is that if the police didn't witness the offense, they have to obtain a warrant before making the arrest.
