Criminal Summons Misdemeanor Worthless Check {CR-115}

AOC-CR-115 - CRIMINAL SUMMONS MISDEMEANOR WORTHLESS CHECK. This form is used by the State of North Carolina to charge an individual with the offense of issuing a worthless (i.e., non-sufficient funds or previously paid) check. It is typically issued when there is probable cause to believe that the defendant knowingly wrote a check that could not be honored by the bank due to lack of funds or because it had already been presented and paid. The form may be used for either a simple first-time offense or for a fourth or subsequent offense, which carries more severe legal consequences. The document outlines details such as the defendant’s personal information, check amount, financial institution involved, and prior offenses if applicable. It also includes instructions to the defendant regarding court appearances and payment options, along with the opportunity to waive trial and plead guilty by paying restitution, fines, and court costs under certain conditions. It contains sections for service of summons, judicial findings, interpreter needs, and, if applicable, final judgment, including fines, imprisonment, or probation. www.FormsWorkflow.com
