Does a defendant have to distinguish his arrest from his arrest for the same crime?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Rodriguez, 53 Cal.App.4th 1250, 62 Cal.Rptr.2d 345 (Cal. App. 1997):

Defendant attempts to distinguish these cases on the ground the offense on which the officer arrested must be "related" to the offense on which probable cause to arrest is found to exist. Under this reasoning, defendant contends his arrest was unlawful because the Contreras homicide was not related to the Moore homicide. Defendant principally relies on Agar v. Superior Court (1971) 21 Cal.App.3d 24, 98 Cal.Rptr. 148 for this proposition.
