To be fair, we really don't have a lot of information on Arata.

That he became a major target of the CCG suggests that he did have some blood on his hands. We know that he scavenged, so that alone wouldn't have garnered him any attention because Anteiku did that for a decade without drawing attention. So very likely, he did have violent encounters with other Ghouls and Investigators -- probably in self-defense, to protect his family, or to help drive out problems in the Ward.

But either way, he managed to not only fall onto the CCG's radar, but became someone they were afraid of/wanted to get their hands on. And Shinohara recalls that the battle to capture him was incredibly fierce, with a lot of lives lost in the process. So Arata was a dangerous opponent, even if the one image we have of his kakuja doesn't show any obvious weapons. (Though it DID have claws, so it's possible his merely manifested as an armor.....especially since imagination/mindset determines the form. Since he was a pacifist, he probably wanted a defensive kakuja rather than an offensive one.)
