Vito Arena had already anonymously ratted out some Gambino soldiers and busted an operation, however after getting arrested for a small crime was going to inform in the entire DeMeo crew extensively having identified himself as the anonymous source that had previously called in a tip to the FBI.

Comically though, he was arrested late at night and the shift commander encouraged the interview to occur the next morning and the arresting officers arrived the next day to find Arena had been released on a relatively minuscule cash bail.

After being baffled at the ineptitude of the NYPD and their ability to coordinate with the FBI Arena naturally decided not to flip and to skip bail.
