This sounds like a Firste degree mm charge, punishable by up to 1 year in county jail. There is no way to know for sure if you will do any jail time. That will depend on the Judge, the prosecutor and even you! The best thing you can do is hire a competent local criminal defense lawyer and make sure to pay back the check amount. That is probably the best thing you can do to minimize your chance at a jail sentence.
Goodluck,
