An accusation of theft may be supported by evidence that the theft was committed in any manner that would be theft under this chapter, notwithstanding the specification of a different manner in the indictment or information, subject only to the power of a court to ensure a fair trial by granting a continuance or other appropriate relief if the conduct of the defense would be prejudiced by lack of fair notice or by surprise.

However, if the person to whom a written demand is made fails to make full payment pursuant to that written demand, then the penalty allowed in § 22- 30A-19.1 may be doubled.
22-30A-24. Theft by insufficient funds check–Degrees according to amount–Aggregation of checks.

In determining the degree of theft, the value of the property stolen or attempted to be stolen is the same as the face amount of the insufficient funds check. Any series of insufficient funds checks within any thirty-day period may be aggregated in amount to determine the degree of theft of such course of conduct.
