Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana

post dated checks

my girlfriend wrote 3 post dated checks for her business which was destroyed 8 yrs ago in a hurricane in order to keep it going for the rent the landlord said to do. They were 5000.00 a piece. She was arrested 7 yrs ago and skipped bond. They just caught up with her last week. will she get time? First offense.
