The structure combines "catch" with "a case" (a legal case or criminal charge), forming a verb phrase that describes becoming entangled with the justice system. It is used to describe being charged with or arrested for a crime, often unexpectedly or as a result of getting caught during an illegal act. People typically say someone "caught a case" when they are facing legal trouble, such as "He caught a case after that traffic stop" or "Don't ride dirty unless you want to catch a case."
