The statutes vary from state to state however, paying for goods or services via check knowing that you do not have the funds available in the account at the time of purchase proves intent to defraud. The prosecutor will subpoena your bank records and see clearly that the funds were not available to you at the time of purchase and that is all he will need to prove fraud. There are several degrees from the 1st to 4th degree indictment available to the prosecutor to charge you. usually the higher the amount of the check the higher the degree. Jail time may be levied as well as restitution depending on how many times you did this in the past and were prosecuted for it if any. I suggest that you check the laws in your state regarding transactions of this nature. Salvatore Mattiaccio
