State v. Fasching

MESCHKE, Justice.

Joel Fasehing appealed his criminal conviction for issuing a check without sufficient funds. We affirm.

Fasehing wrote a check, dated August 10, 1989, to Mandan Standard for $64.73. The check was twice returned unpaid for insufficient funds in Fasching’s bank account. In October 1989, the owner of Man-dan Standard signed a criminal complaint against Fasehing for violating NDCC 6-08-16(1) by issuing a check without sufficient funds.

At a trial without a jury, Fasehing was found guilty. He was fined, ordered to make restitution, and sentenced to 20 days in jail. Fasehing appealed.
