If you were charged how can the arrest be "false?"
In some jurisdictions that actual charge IS "Giving a false statement to law enforcement." Other charges might be; 'Obstruction of Justice' - 'Hindering a Police Investigation' - Etc. Depending on the nature of information you gave, including giving a fake name or birthdate for yourself to hide warrants or your age, the charge added could also be for presenting an officer with a "...false identification upon a lawful arrest."

The penalty would vary with the crime, and the crime is determined by the nature of the statement. For instance; Giving a false name or making a false police report are usually misdemeanors. On the other hand, if your statement was made to thwart a police investigation or an arrest, or you were falsely giving someone an alibi, it could amount to an Obstruction of Justice and the penalty could be more severe.
