In Arizona, where I live now, as well as in NC or any other state I can think of that I've lived in, writing a bad check is either a misdemeanor or a felony, based on the amount of the check that was written.
In the case of a business check, the owner can be held personally liable if they signed the check.
When you go to the magistrate to file the paperwork they will tell you exactly what to expect from the number and amounts of the checks --
The best suggestion here to find out what's up would be to call the magistrate in the locality where the check is drawn from since that is where it will have to be addressed, and ask them what the specifics are to their jurisdiction.
(Can you tell that I've had to go after a couple people over the years? Running retail/wholesale businesses where checks are a common currency always involves someone writing a bad one, sadly enough...)
