Start by discussing the case with an attorney. The first two things he will want to know is A) did you lose any money because of the false police report. B) Will the person who did this have money to pay damages.
Have you requested your local police to investigate? In MI it is a misdemeanor to engage in 'lawful' conduct for 'unlawful' purposes. If two or more people are involved, it becomes a felony.
if this caused you great embarrassment or damaged your reputation, you could file a cause of action for Intentional Infliction (IIED). However, it is very hard to prevail in a IIED cause of action. You do need an attorney to advise you on these issues.
Depending on who was behind the false report and the individual's motive, you may be better off to let a sleeping dog lie.
