Note from asker:
| Thanks for pointing out the possibility of a typo. Actually, the entries in these columns are handwritten, so it's more a matter of misinterpretation on my part! Now that I look at it under magnification, it looks more like "vorgeheft(et)" than "vorgehaft(et)." |

"ge" or "ver" is the quandary but I would say ok to go with "arrest"

Since it is unclear whether he was convicted or not, I'd go with this one.

to be previously convicted for
I think "vorgehaftet" is a word used at that time for "vorbestraft", which would be:
to have a criminal record
to be previously convicted for
to have previous convictions.
to have a criminal record
to be previously convicted for
to have previous convictions.
