This depends on whether you were the person they wanted to charge or not. I need more facts.

It is unlikely that clerical errors will lead to having your entire case dismissed. If it is the case that they have arrested the wrong person, you certainly have a case and should look into hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney in your area.

If you point out to the judge that you are not the person named in the warrant, and you can prove that to the court, you should be released and the charges dropped on you.
