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.
