You are absolutely right.  The State Attorney's Office treat bad checks as a 
misdemeanor.  Normally, a letter stating your intent to prosecute will be 
enough to get your money.  However, writing a check on a closed account is 
considered a felony (at least in Florida) and is grounds for mandatory 
prosecution regardless if you get your money.  I'd call my local D.A. or 
State Attorney's Office.  In my opinion, people that do this sort of thing 
are the scum of the earth.
