Best Answer

Three criminal offenses are present in the question. (1) The THEFT of the check (2) The FORGERY of the signature (3) the UTTERING/passing of the forged check. The theft of the check (because of its small monetary value) will be a misdemeanor. Depending upon the law of the jurisdiction in which this took place it could either be a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the amount the check was forged for. You will have to check your local state statutes to determine the penalties for these offenses.

Well... let's see.... you've got three clear separate offenses. (1) THEFT of the check (2) FORGERY of the victim's name (3) UTTERING(issuing) the forged check. Sounds pretty much like it's FELONY time to me.
