LEO apparently had probably cause to get the Warrant issued. You should not have consented to either a breath or blood test. Any amount of intoxicant will be used against you. And it is alot easier to get back a TNDL without a DUI conviction. Hire an attorney.

There is no time limit. Was a Bond set? If too high, a motion to reduce bond could be made, and sometimes unusual requirements are issued in conjunction with a lower cash bond. Apparently an Arrest Warrant was already executed, so SOL is not running on charge.

Generally, you cannot successfully sue someone unless their actions or inactions caused you to suffer actual legally compensable injuries. Your question does not mention any such injuries, and it is difficult to imagine how the facts you describe would likely result in any such injury.
