Springer then failed to provide compensation to his bank after being advised that the check was not honored, police said.

Springer, of Vernon Township, was charged with third-degree passing bad checks.

He was released in accordance with the NJ Bail Reform Act and is scheduled to appear in Sussex County Superior Court.
