State v. Hodges

Defendant appeals from conviction by the court of obtaining money under false pretenses. ORS 165.205. The basis of the charge was that the defendant passed a check drawn upon a closed bank account. She claims error in that (1) the indictment did not charge a crime because it did not allege that the account was nonexistent or closed; (2) that the check was never formally presented to the bank for payment; (3) that the victim had actual notice that defendant’s account had been closed; and (4) the sale of the property for which the check was given was not completed.
