Bad checks are a crime and yes, they can get a warrant. Depending on the circumstances they are not likely to make arrests or go that far. They want their money, not you in jail.

They can absolutely arrest you in Montana. Their records are slow, and if you accidently write a check which bounces, they will arrest you and/or put a warrant out for your arrest. It happened to me, I bounced a check to the supermarket for $40. I cleared it up but they have paper records there, and they arrested me and put my "bail" at $100.

In short, yes, a court can issue an arrest warrant for intentionally writing bad checks. The crime is called Uttering and Publishing in many jurisdictions. In fact in Michigan, Uttering and Publishing is a felony punishable up to 14 years in prison.
