Normally, a governmental entity has immunity pursuant to T.C.A. 29-20-205 which provides in pertinent part as follows: Immunity from suit of all governmental entities is removed for injury proximately caused by a negligent act or omission of any employee within the scope of his employment except if the injury arises out of:..(2) false imprisonment pursuant to a mittimus from a court..." However, I think that you might have a case if: (1) the arrest warrant should not have been issued against you but your brother; and (2) you would have to prove that the damages you suffered were directly caused by your arrest. You need to speak with an attorney.
