The Check Enforcement Program is designed to allow worthless check writers an opportunity to resolve their worthless check crime and avoid a possible criminal record. The Program provides a win/win situation for everyone involved, including the person who wrote the worthless check.
If a
worthless check
writer elects to ignore this
opportunity, they face possible prosecution and the real possibility of fines,
court costs and even jail time.

The Prosecuting Attorney wants people to understand their office considers check crime a serious matter. |
The size of the check is not a deterrent. Even small checks are subject to prosecution if the check writer refuses to make restitution and complete the requirements of the Check Enforcement Program.
