I was recently arrested and charged with the above felony charges brought on by my exfiance maliciously. Fortunately all charges have been dismissed. I knew it wouldn't go anywhere because I could prove otherwise. However, he was convincing enought to have a warrant for my arrest carried out and executed. I had to spend $800.00 to post bond and $1500.00 for retaining an attorney. I work pipeline construction out of state and was between jobs at the time of my arrest. I had to turn down work in order to stay for court. I missed out on two months worth of work. Can I sue him in civil court for my lost wages, attorney fees, bond and anything else? We worked together on the pipeline and he made it impossible to go back to work with the same company because he has bad mouthed me.
