That quote is a play on words. Arrested development really means a stop (arrested means stopped) in physical growth/development (or it has also been used in the past as a stop in mental growth). But in this quote, as you may or may not know, Marilyn Monroe was a very voluptuous woman. So, she "developed" very well. So, because of her development (good body) somebody else might get into trouble with her and thereby get "arrested" by police. It's a joke. Shew! That was a long explanation.

@Dreamholic:사실 그 문장을 문맥없이 읽으면 의미가 확실하지 않아요. Arrested development 직접 번역하면은 개발/발달이 방해되다
