    File suit against her. You might even try prosecuting her for passing bad paper.

    The fact that she tendered a check belies her disapproval with the job. Cancelling the check may be considered fraud.

    Yes, you can turn it over to the DA for criminal act, and/or sue in civil court for damages.
