A. Any person who shall with intent to defraud, make, or draw, or utter, or deliver another person any check, or draft, on a bank or other depository for the payment of money, knowing at the time of such drawing, or delivery, that he has not sufficient funds in, or credit with the bank upon its presentation, shall be guilty of unlawful issuance of bank check. The word “credit” as used in this chapter 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 delivery of such check or draft to another person without such fund or credit to meet the same be prima facie evidence of an intent to defraud.

B. Any person who shall with intent to defraud, make, or draw or utter or deliver to another person any check, or draft on a bank or other depository for the payment of money and who issues a stop-payment order directing the bank or depository on which the check is drawn not to honor the check and who fails to make payment of money in the amount of the check or draft or otherwise arrange a settlement agreed upon by the holder of the check within thirty days of issuing the check or draft shall be guilty of unlawful issuance of a bank check. Unlawful issuance of a bank check in an amount of two hundred fifty dollars or less is a gross misdemeanor. (Ord. 1332, §12, 1980).
