Erm...isn't the usual followup to an arrest to throw people in prison? I don't think you're thinking your comments through.

Azkaban drains magic, he can be stupefied and tossed in, and without his wand he's going to have a hard time anyway. It's perfectly possible to just toss Harry in Azkaban and regard his threat as neutralized.

Agreed, but the precise form of his comment was sort of silly.

I don't think they throw every wizard criminal into Azkaban. There must be prisons for harmless criminals like Mundungus Fletcher.
