Yes. That may be slander as well as filing a false police report.

The general answer is yes, you can sue someone for this. The practical consideration, however, would be did you have resulting damages from the fraudulent reporting that you were holding someone hostage? The resulting damage would determine the actual worth of your lawsuit, if any. You would then have to evaluate if the value of your lawsuit is worth the time and effort associated with litigating the case.
