Description
Defendant was a 22-year-old student attending Utah State University at the time she was arrested. She opened a checking account with the Logan branch of Zions First National Bank on September 8, 1982. She wrote the five checks at issue here between November 5 and November 10, 1982, totaling $855, which were dishonored by the bank upon presentation. Testimony at trial disclosed that the bank sent defendants October and November bank statements as well as notices of overdraft to an incorrect address. Testimony further revealed that between October 25, 1982, and November 12, 1982, less than three weeks, checks totaling $3,164.68 were processed through defendants account, and deposits totaling $250 were made. From the time defendant opened the account on September 8, 1982, until it was closed on December 20, 1982, she wrote checks totaling $7,716.71 and made deposits of $2,837.33, resulting in a deficit of approximately $4,800. She testified at trial that she did not intend to pass bad checks and that she thought there was enough money in her account to cover each check written. She also testified that she believed her parents were making deposits into her account. With the exception of one check, over which there appeared to be a dispute regarding the cancellation of a contract, she subsequently paid the checks.
