Legal Question in Civil Litigation in South Carolina

False arrest / slander / libel

My wife was arrested and booked for theft of $300.00. She waited 2 years for her day in court. On that day the business that signed the warrant did not show up. The charging party knew she didn't do it and went through the motions for meanness. The case was dimissed. Because the charges were dismissed and she didn't go to trial, does she have a legal position to file a lawsuit.
