Wrote numerous checks from closed account
HOUGHTON -- A Houghton man, who allegedly wrote thousands of dollars in bad checks, was arraigned today.
Twenty-eight-year-old Timothy Pierner was charged with six counts of “check-no account,” a felony punishable by up to two years in prison.
Pierner is accused of writing checks of $400 or more from a closed bank account with Range Bank last November.
Pierner was released on a $500 personal recognizance bond. He'll be back in court on February 18 for a preliminary exam.
