Please use this thread going forward: [JTB] Arresting Someone (First Order) gets stuck | EA Forums - 12257048
I was having this problem, too, and what snapped my Sim out of it was going into First Person more. It's worked for me twice, but both times on the same ID Check/NPC Sim, so it might be that this NPC Sim is glitches out. Either way, I thought, ya know, might as well throw it out there, how I got around this.
Bear in mind, though, that I'm doing my Simming on PS4, so I dunno how or if it might work on other consoles/PC.
Edit: this worked twice in the First Order District. However, I got stuck once more, but in the Black Spire district. The First Person switch isn't working this time. I think it's the same Sim, though (ironically, the Sim I always get for Lightsaber Challenges), so my running theory is that he's bugged, since I've successfully escorted another Sim, in this district.
Edit x2: I was able to wait out the last instance of Check ID/Escort getting stuck. Can't wait for that to get patched out...
TL;DR - I know which tasks I'm not doing anymore, lol.
