Troy Man Indicted for Writing Nearly $6,600 in Bad Checks — Faces Theft Charges in Ohio
TROY, OHIO — A 44-year-old man from Troy is facing legal trouble after allegedly writing bad checks totaling close to $6,600, according to court records.
Anthony Scott was formally indicted in the Mercer County Court of Common Pleas on March 20, 2025, facing two felony charges:
- One count of theft, and
- One count of passing bad checks.
The accusations stem from financial transactions that reportedly occurred in December 2024, where Scott is believed to have knowingly issued checks without sufficient funds in his account — a serious offense in Ohio law.
Scott was arrested on March 30 on an outstanding warrant and booked into the Miami County Jail. He was released shortly after posting a $7,000 bond.
He appeared in court on April 1 and entered a not guilty plea. His next court hearing is scheduled for April 30, 2025, where the case will continue to unfold.
What Is “Passing a Bad Check”?
In simple terms, it means writing a check you know will bounce — either because the bank account has insufficient funds or is already closed. It’s considered a form of fraud and can lead to felony charges, especially when the amounts involved are large.
