You may have available to you what is called a "motion to quash the arrest". Before you are likely able to do anything about the damage to your car, it is important to resolve the charges against you. Do not take them lightly as driving on a suspended license is a misdemeanor with up to a year in jail and/or a $2,500 fine. It sounds as though you may have defenses. You do need counsel.
