- What should I do if I need to report a crime?
The first thing you should do is to report the crime to the local law enforcement.  If you live inside the city limits, call your city police department.  If you live in the county, call the Hood County Sheriff's Department.
 
Our office prosecutes cases that have already been investigated by a law enforcement agency.

In order for the Hood County District Attorney's office to prosecute your hot check, the bad check must be in the amount of $2,500.00 or more.  If the amount is of a lessor amount the Hood County Attorney's office will process it. 

You will need to bring the Original Check, or the copy that the bank returned to you.  A copy of the letter sent to the check writer, if the letter is returned because of a bad address, bring the unopened letter also.  A description on what the check was for.  Any information on the check writer that you may have.
