[Adopted 6-10-1974 by Ord. No. 74-4
as Sec. 3-8 of the Revised General Ordinances]
It is unlawful for any person, either for himself or as agent or representative
of any other person or as an officer or agent of any corporation or as a member
of a partnership, with intent to defraud, to make, draw, utter or deliver
any check, draft or order for the payment of money in a sum not in excess
of $200 upon any bank or other depository, knowing at the time of so doing
that the maker, or drawer, has no funds or insufficient funds in or credit
with such bank or other depository for the payment in full of such instrument
upon its presentation, although no express representation is made in reference
thereto.
The making, drawing, uttering or delivering of a check, draft or order
as stated in the foregoing section shall be prima facie evidence of intent
to defraud, and the certificate of protest of nonpayment of the same shall
be presumptive evidence that there were no funds or insufficient funds in
or credit with such bank or other depository and that the person making, drawing,
uttering or delivering the instrument knew that there were no funds or insufficient
funds in or credit with such bank or other depository.
A violation of this article shall be punishable as provided in Chapter
1, General Provisions, §
1-15.
