Frazee Man Charged in $653 Bad-Check Case<\/h2>\n

FRAZEE<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A Frazee man faces a felony charge involving nine alleged bad checks.<\/p>\n

Ronald James Chasing Bear has been charged with issuing dishonored checks in Becker County District Court.<\/p>\n

The complaint alleges the checks totaled $653.63. They were reportedly written between December 24, 2025, and January 2, 2026.<\/p>\n

Chasing Bear is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

Checks Reported at Two Frazee Businesses<\/h2>\n

According to the complaint, six checks were issued at the All N All gas station in Frazee.<\/p>\n

The checks allegedly paid for fuel and other store items. Their reported amounts ranged from $39 to $97.92.<\/p>\n

The six checks totaled $423.14, based on figures listed in the complaint.<\/p>\n

Investigators received paperwork stating the checks came from a closed bank account.<\/p>\n

The complaint says surveillance images showed Chasing Bear writing checks at the store\u2019s cash register.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Three More Checks Alleged<\/h2>\n

Frazee Family Foods later reported three additional checks from the same closed account.<\/p>\n

Those checks were reportedly written on December 24 and December 29.<\/p>\n

The amounts were $150.49, $17.58, and $62.42. Together, they totaled $230.49.<\/p>\n

The two businesses sent written payment demands to Chasing Bear\u2019s listed address.<\/p>\n

All N All sent its demand in February. Frazee Family Foods sent its demand in March.<\/p>\n

Felony Charge Filed<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors allege Chasing Bear intended for the checks not to be paid.<\/p>\n

The case was filed under Minnesota\u2019s law covering the issuance of dishonored checks.<\/p>\n

Under Minnesota Statute 609.535<\/a>, checks worth more than $500 may bring felony penalties.<\/p>\n

A conviction may carry up to five years in prison. It may also bring a fine of up to $10,000.<\/p>\n

The case is listed as Becker County District Court file 03-CR-26-1094.<\/p>\n
