A defendant took a temporary check from someone else and filled HIS OWN INFO in and signed HIS OWN name. Yes, not the smartest tool in the shed, but I think maybe he got himself from a felony forgery to a misdemeanor theft. Forgery is purporting to be the act of another and either possessing or transferring the check. In our case, he used his own info, he just didn't own the account. Is that a theft or a forgery?

What about fraudulent use of identifying information (the bank account/routing numbers)?
