So I Did Some Stupid Stuff With A Guy And His Business Checking Account

Location: Salt Lake City. Ut.

Back story I was on heroin and in a bad part of town. I got approached by a guy at a 7/11 saying he needed help cashing checks and I could make 1K in a day.

His story: He was going through a divorce and wanted to drain a business checking account so his wife wouldn't get it. My alarm bells went off so I said "I'm not going to use my bank and deposit bad checks." He assured me the checks were good, we could even even go to his bank and cash them. He said we needed to "clean me up" though. Got me a haircut and bought me some clothes. We then went to a hotel, he had me wait in his car, and came out with 5 very official looking business checks like you'd get from payroll with my name on them.

We go to the first branch and I'm able to cash the check no problem. He also made them for about 850-950 each to make it look like they were payroll checks from his company to avoid scrutiny he said. I'm able to cash 4more checks no problem at 5 different branches. Made me my $1K and never thought any more of it.

About 6 days ago I get court paperwork at my sister's house asking me to appear in court for 5 felony check fraud cases. Im guessing what happened is either someone noticed a discrepancy in payroll or he was planning all along on reporting it as fraud.

I don't have any recourse here do I? I'm pretty much screwed. I don't know his name, don't remember the company name on the checks, and only remember the make and model of the car he was driving.

Yes I know I'm extremely stupid for even doing this.
