Multiple Witnesses Lied About To The Police That Lead To Me Being Detained. How To Prep?

Card image cap

Location: Florida

I recently filed a police report. I talked to a cop on the phone to give the initial statement. After the cop did an investigation. He told me to come in to the station and make the same sworn statement. After I retold the story I was detained and only after I was detained was told of what others said against me in the investigation.

I have proof of one of the main witnesses telling me beforehand in text conversation that they didn’t see the incident occur, though they were sitting next to me when it happened. The other witnesses claimed to have seen the incident while a FaceTime call was happening, but I can get proof in call logs that proves that the call ended before the incident occurred. Those witnesses didn’t know about the incident until I told them a couple weeks later.

How do I prep with the public defender? I have documentation of everything I can prove on my side. I want to make sure I have done everything while the witnesses on the other side trash my name on social media thinking I’m in jail not knowing I was never officially arrested

Edit: I was arrested and charged for probable cause of lying on the police report and in a cell for 7 hours before being released. on the premise that I would promise to appear to my arrangement. No bail set or mugshot. Sorry for the confusion
