Re: bad check
Yes, the issuance of a bad check is a class one (1) misdemeanor. The range of punishment for an offense is anywhere from probation with zero (0) days in jail, up to six (6) months in jail. Additionally, there could be a zero (0) dollar fine up to twenty-five hundred ($2500.00) fine with an additional 80% of surcharges added to that amount.
