My x stole some checks from her stepmom and dad and forged her step moms name to them. there was a total of 5 checks for small amounts and most were made out to cash. on one she made it out to cash and went to the bank to cash it. they made her put her drivers license number on it. I think that total between two accounts is almost 500 bucks. the da just decided to prosecute her for this can anyone tell me what the penalties are and if she will do any time?
