It might be possible to bri suit. The amount of damages will be tough to document. Whether the cse will be successfult in getting anything will depend iupon the specific facts of his case.

Good luck

Possibly, but wrongful arrest cases are difficult to win because of the quantum of proof required from the Plaintiff. I would seek to expunge this arrest as soon as possible. Also, do you have a copy of the arrest report? I am curious to see the police justification for arresting your fiance, as police are, to a large degree, protected if they are acting in 'good faith'. Feel free to email me if you want to discuss this.
