Ironwood, MI asked in Insurance Bad Faith for Wisconsin

Q: What can I do about an insurance agent who falsified documents to have me charged with a crime?>

My roommate and I purchased a policy which I paid for. We had a fire at the home. The insurance agent deleted my name from the policy then turned in a report to the DA that I illegally obtained proceeds from the fire. My bank statements and original policy documents proved that to be false. The agents friend showed the cancelled insurance check in a local bar/restaurant after taking it from the bank where she was employed, What can I do to get all this fraud corrected and off my record?
