wrote a bad check now i need some advice please respond asap (CRIMINAL LAW & PROCEDURE)

Sun, 14 Jan 2001 20:23:00 GMT

Two years ago i was vacationing in another city in Michigan and i accidentally wrote two checks that came back nsf. I got a letter from the the police department there before i even realized that i had bounced the checks. One was for $45.00 and the other was for $42.00. I took care of it right away with my credit card. The officer i talked to on the phone had mentioned how this is a crime and i could get a warrant out for my arrest and so on. Well, two and a half years later i get a letter in the mail from this officer and i have two warrants out for my arrest. they say misdemeanor on them and that i have to appear before the judge there. (East Tawas Michigan) I called the police officer right away and he said that this is normal policy there that anyone one that writes a bad check there this happens to. He also said that i have to pay $100.00 per each warrant and then i will be finger printed, and my picture will be taken. Basically i will be arrested. Then i will pay my money and then be taken into a room to discuss this whole thing and then set a court date... I have never been in trouble for anything before. I have a clean record! Is this normal? I thought it was all taken care of when i paid for these checks two and a half years ago. Also, i had no idea that i had these warrants out for me until now. I am just beside myself with worry. what should i do?
Please answer asap
thank you

  • Don't know about Mich law but I have experience in the "beat the bank" game here in KS. Two checks totaling 43.00 to the same establishment ended up costing us over 700.00 that includes ck charges ct costs and fine plus actual probation of 6 mths.
    Writing bad checks will follow you for quite awhile and will influence your overall credit. Moral to the story - "if it ain't there it won't magically appear".
