You appear to be telling us that, due to a mistake somewhere along the line, you had an active arrest warrant for your 2011 drug charge, the police picked you up on that active warrant, and as a result you were detained overnight while the police determined that the charge had been resolved and the warrant should have been recalled. Is that correct? If so, odds are your claim is going to be prevented by governmental and/or judicial immunity. The details matter - so consult a lawyer with the detailed facts - but this is not a case that is going to be litigated in small claims court even if you file there.
