Any person who, with intent to defraud, makes, draws, utters, or delivers to another person any check, or draft, on a bank or other depository for the payment of money, and he or she knows at the time of such drawing, or delivery, that he or she does not have sufficient funds in, or credit with, said bank or depository, to cover the check or draft, in full upon its presentation, shall be guilty of unlawful issuance of checks. The word "credit" as used herein shall be construed to mean an arrangement or understanding with the bank or other depository for the payment of such check or draft, and the uttering or delivering of such a check or draft to another person without such fund or credit to meet the same shall be prima facie evidence of an intent to defraud. Unlawful issuance of checks is a Class C offense.
