BRONSON - Levy County Fair Association President Bob Levesque said on Dec. 20 he has made no progress in his attempt pay a $2,000 worthless check he wrote to Robinson's Racing Pigs on Nov. 13.
Spencer Mann, a spokesman for Eighth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Bill Cervone, said on Dec. 20 the Levy County office of the State Attorney has received two worthless check complaints against Levesque and the Fair Association.
Those two complaints are under review, Mann said. That is all he could say about the potential worthless check cases.
Levesque previously admitted writing the $2,000 check on the fair association's account. The check was returned to Randall and Sharon Ross, owners of the racing pigs, for insufficient funds.
Worthless checks affect everyone in terms of higher consumer costs that must be passed on to offset losses, and increased taxes to cover the additional costs for law enforcement and prosecution.
Before Levesque can be convicted of writing a worthless check, the state must prove he wrote the check and that he knew, or should have known, the money was not in the account when he wrote the check, according to state law.
