I'm in a similar situation, however in my case i was constantly battling with HR about several racial slurs from upper management towards me. When I went to jail it worked out great for them to avoid any lawsuits terminating was the best way for them to wash their hands. Can I do anything about this.

Well, that's something you probably ought to talk to a lawyer about ..

I'm neither smart enough nor personally inclined to help you create an argument out of a legitimate workplace issue to cover up an acts of personal irresponsibility that do tend to end jobs.

The exception would be if your arrest was wrongful .. and in that case, I'd want to hear about a dismissal of charges or the not guilty verdict.
