Simple thing to resolve. Go to the DA's office and file a complaint with the hot check division. They'll get your money or the guy goes to jail. You pay something like $15, which they get back from the guy, they send a 10 day letter and then file charges. Me, I'd much rather do it this way than beg plead and cajole his bank not to charge you for cashing it.
Don't get mad-get results
