Re: bad checks
Yes. You can even be arrested for passing 1 bad check for $1.00.
The last time I looked into it, passing a check for $9000 was a 4th degree felony, which can result in up to a year and a half in prison for each charge. Someone who is facing such charges should immediately seek an attorney due to the severity of the punishment.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.
