Though unemployment eligiblity varies from state to state (so you should contact your state unemployment agency for their eligibility requirements) they typically require that you be unemployed by no reason attributable to you. Either you must be laid off, fired without cause, or quit because of a situation caused by your employer that most reasonable people would find intolerable (definition varies from agency to agency).
However, aside from unemployment eligibility, some states have laws that prevent an employer from making any employment decisions based solely on information about an arrest that does not result in a conviction (some industries are usually exempt from this requirement, such as childcare). You may wish to consult an attorney in your area for more specific information relative to your location and circumstances.
