Get a lawyer who will threaten them with a suit for defamation of character. Then if they do not remove it, sue them.

If you have been arrested it is a public record, and sadly that is what "whosarrested.com" banks on. Their request for a fee, $99 to take you off of the web is disgusting but legal, it is also less expensive than hiring a lawyer.

Accusing or representing a person of having committed a crime when they did not is actionable in Court and may constitute defamation of character. You should not be required to pay money to remove false information.
