Can a police department be sued for restitutions if a person was arrested, released and cleared of all charges?

Details: Person pulled over for speeding, then driver and passenger arrested under the belief that the two individuals were on meth.  Both individuals were put in jail overnight.  Had to pay fees for release.  No drugs or alcohol were found in their systems.
