If the court you are charged in has an online docket system you probably will be able to pull it up if Passing Bad Check charges are filed against you there.

The best alternative we have for our client's here in NJ, is to call the prosecutor, ask if there is a warrant, try to work out a consent bail, invoke our client's right to remain silent, and work out a time to surrender the client. I suggest you consult with a local lawyer in OH to see if this tpe of arrangement can be worked out for you. Good luck.
