Re: false arrest

It appears to me that you may have more of a cause of action against the police department than the bank. The bank would most likely be protected if it was simply following procedures to safeguard against fraudulent check cashing.

This is general information that I hope has been helpful to you. However, you should always obtain legal counsel familiar with your specific circumstances.
