Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Business/Criminal

I have 50% intrest in a construction company that is going under. I took a project out side of the company listing my name and the corportation as a dba. The checks were written to me personelly approx $50,000. Certen bill have not been paid due to my putting funds into other company projects. can I be charged with a criminal offense? At this point I have seperated from the company and now my partner says I had no right to take the project out side of the corporation even when I have witness statements saing he did. He does not want to allow the lic to stay with the company. What are my legal options.
