GA Question - If a check is tendered for the purchase of an item (located in, purchased from & removed from GA), the check is disallowed & the check maker removes the item to TN, can a warrant be sworn out for theft by deception? What code section would apply? Thanks

Usually the crime would be a bad check, not theft by deception.

The offense might be forgery (depending on how the check is disallowed), deposit account fraud, theft by deception or theft by taking. See website for statutory differences: www.lawrencelewispc.com
