What are your damages?

The best way to start is by contacting the newspaper and asking them to remove online material and print a retraction.

If you have no actual damages then you don't have much to sue for.

If you were arrested, that arrest is a matter of public record.
Even if you beat the charges, the arrest is valid, unless you prove false arrest.
I suggest you consult an attorney, you probably have no case.
Truth is the ultimate defense to libel.
