yup, you will probably end up doing both depending on your prior record.

If you go to whom you bounced the check on and give them their money back, it may go well. But if the police are involved, and charges filed, you can be arrested. The severity of the charge is equal to how much money was stolen. If charges were already filed, you are now suspect in a criminal act. And even if the person you stole from agreed to drop charges against you, the prosecutor could still pursue the case, because he has evidence that you commited a crime. You've got a problem, and I suggest you seek legal counsel, and at least find out if the person you passed the check on has filed charges against you.

Of course. Do you think you can steal, and if caught return it and nothing more will happen?
Part of your sentence will be to return the money I'm sure, but the rest will depend on a variety of factors and may include jail time.

Yes, a bad check is a bad check. The amt of time you serve
will depend on the severity of your crime.

If you correct your actions, get yourself a receipt, in case someone gets even!
