Application For Statement Of Charges For Bad Check Continuation Sheet {DC-CR 44A}

DC-CR-044A - CONTINUATION SHEET – BAD CHECK CHARGE APPLICATION FOR STATEMENT OF CHARGES/STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE (Criminal Law § 8-103). This form is used in the District Court of Maryland to support a criminal complaint under Criminal Law § 8-103 related to bad checks. This form is submitted by an applicant (often a merchant, individual, or law enforcement officer) who is alleging that the defendant knowingly issued or passed a check with insufficient funds or from a closed account, with the intent or belief that the check would not be honored by the bank. The form provides space to document multiple bad check incidents and requires details such as the date and place the property or services were unlawfully obtained, the amount involved, the name of the victim (business or individual), the check number, bank information, and the specific notation (e.g., "insufficient funds" or "account closed") made by the bank when returning the check. It also includes information about certified mail sent to the defendant in an attempt to collect the debt before pursuing criminal charges. By completing this form, the applicant establishes the basis for criminal charges and presents probable cause to support the prosecution of the defendant for issuing bad checks. This continuation sheet supplements the main application and may be used when there are multiple checks or instances to document. www.FormsWorkflow.com
