An Idaho man has been charged with writing bad checks exceeding $200,000 for cattle he received from a Snyder County farm.
Tony E. Martins, 35, of Filer, Idaho, wrote one check for more than $160,000.
He wrote a second for more than $45,000 on Oct. 8, 2009, to Creek Bottom Farms, 1510 White Church Road, Middleburg.
The checks were not honored by his Idaho-based bank because of insufficient funds in Martins’ account.
According to a criminal complaint, Martins has made no attempt to settle the debt.
The farm owners, Michael and Cassandra Snook, declined to provide further detailson Tuesday afternoon.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 29 in Middleburg.
A felony arrest warrant will be requested because of the money involved.
