Is there a law against doing an unwarranted citizens arrest or questioning a person running through neighborhood?

If not this case comes down to self defense. The video could be use in court to argue Arbery was very combative person. The video clearly shows Arbery charging the guy with the Shot gun.

If I was on the jury I could be convince if Arbery got control of the shotgun he would have kill some people after watching this video.

Yes. Here you go.

Ga law: it is a violation § 16-5-41 (a) A person commits the offense of false imprisonment when, in violation of the personal liberty of another, he arrests, confines, or detains such person without legal authority.

If the victim is killed then that is a violation of § 16-5-1(c) A person also commits the offense of murder when, in the commission of a felony, he causes the death of another human being irrespective of malice.
