What are the reprocutions of stealing someone's checks and signing their name in alabama? Can you just pay the police the money or do you have to go through all the legalities of the charge? Do you ever get to just pay the $?

Say Hola to jail time.
It's not only theft of checks, but fraud. Could be other charges - identity theft, etc.

So far everyone has answered based on the law and they are correct in what they say. However, (there is always a however), IF charges have not yet been filed, AND the thief were to go to the person wronged and offer to settle everything including NSF fees, if any, etc, THEN MAYBE it would end there. Otherwise refer to all the other answers posted.

You're in a WORLD o' hurt! If you're lucky, you'll get probation--but you definitely could be looking at jail time. They come down harder on this than on rape! Doesn't make sense, but he who has the gold makes the rules.

You'll end up in a place like this

Fraud is usually a felony. Punishments vary from state to state. You could be fined, jailed or both.
