Is it technically possible for Trump to be arrested before inauguration?

I mean, you know, for cause. That seems to be more and more plausible these days. What would happen then?

3. There is no historical precedent I am aware of

However even if arrested he can still be sworn in (probably) since an arrest does not equal a conviction and no trial would take place prior to 1/20/17. However even by some microscopic chance Trump is not sworn, then Pence will be sworn in.
