Assuming there is an outstanding warrant for your arrest in the United States it is possible that you can be arrested when you enter back into the United States if the warrant pops up when you provide your identification to the U.S. Border Agent. I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney in your locality to help clear the warrant. One can be found on attorneypages.com.
