Do I have a case if a store owner lied to police and I had a wrongful arrest?

The statute has probably expired, but I had a nervous breakdown and couldn’t pursue this when it happened ten years ago. I spent $800 on clothing. I had an argument with one of the sales girls. A few weeks later, I brought one item back for return, forgetting my receipt (the credit card company had already paid the store, though). The owner delayed me, called the police, told them I had used a fake credit card, and I was arrested. I'm certain it was because I had insulted them. I posted bond of $1200, and the case was dismissed for lack of evidence with no court case being brought against me. The store owner refused to reimburse my bail. My husband was dying at the time, and I had a nervous break own and so didn’t pursue it legally, but it still bothers me. The police refused to tell me why I was arrested, did not hear my statement, and one of the cops inferred a special relationship existed between the store and the police.
