mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    if mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local arrestee = mouse.Target.Parent
        print(arrestee)
        local arrested = game.Players[arrestee]
        if arrested["TeamColor"] == BrickColor.new("Teal") or arrested["Settings"].innocent.Value == true then
            print("innocent")
        else
            game.ReplicatedStorage.Arrest:FireServer(arrestee)
        end
    end
end)

I am trying to us arrestee as a string, anyway to do that?

Edit: I solved the issue by putting the team checker part to a script:

if mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local arrestee = mouse.Target.Parent
        print(arrestee)
        game.ReplicatedStorage.Arrest:FireServer(arrestee)

you would use .Name

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    if mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
        local arrestee = mouse.Target.Parent
        print(arrestee.Name)
        local arrested = game.Players[arrestee.Name]
        if arrested["TeamColor"] == BrickColor.new("Teal") or arrested["Settings"].innocent.Value == true then
            print("innocent")
        else
            game.ReplicatedStorage.Arrest:FireServer(arrestee)
        end
    end
end)
