1. How do I collect on a hot check

If the check is for less than $2,500.00, you will need to give 10 days written notice by certified mail, to the check writer to pay. If no response is received, bring a copy of the notice, the certified mail response card, and a copy of the dishonored check to the County Attorney’s office. If you need assistance with the 10-day notice, please bring in the dishonored check.

2. Can you help me get an occupational license

No. That would conflict with my duties to the County. You may inquire at the Justice of the Peace office or hire an attorney to help you.

2. Can I drop criminal charges against someone if I am the victim

You can make that request of our office, but you should understand that whether to pursue a criminal case is the decision of the prosecutor, not the victim. The prosecution may go forward regardless of your wishes and you may be subpoenaed to testify. If you have been threatened or coerced into requesting that a case be dismissed, the person who did so is committing a separate crime that should be reported to this office.
