"Anyone can sue anybody for anything." If there was sufficient probable cause for your arrest to begin with, simply because the charge was 'dismissed' would not be sufficient grounds for a suit, unless there was MUCH more to the incident than the question reveals.

Can someone sue the state of Maryland for false arrest after the criminal charges are dismissed in a court of law?
No, dismissal of criminal charges is not an indication that the person was innocent of the crime, only that there was not enough evidence to pursue prosecution.Exactly... You would need to prove that the arrest was unjustified to qualify for this complaint. Such as an officer arresting you with absolutely no evidence and nothing to go on. Basically just maliciously arresting you. This would be a violation of your personal rights under the constitution. Chances are that the case wouldn't go all the way to trial in this circumstance anyways.

Neither individuals nor businesses can "file charges." Only the prosecutor's office can 'file' criminal charges. Anyone else can only file a criminal complaint or report a crime to law enforcement. An investigation is conducted and if probable cause is found an arrest is made or a warrant is applied for. A business can file a criminal complaint against someone.
