A Traverse City man who failed to appear for a pretrial meeting scheduled in the 86th District Court Friday morning did make it to court on Monday.

Jeremy S. Farris, 37, of 1262 Harvest E., Traverse City, was scheduled to appear for the Friday meeting on a charge of taking more than $200 and less than $1,000 by using false pretenses. Judge John D. Foresman issued a bench warrant for Farris’ arrest, but assigned no bond amount.

According to court documents, Farris appeared in 86th District Court in Grand Traverse County on Monday, and pleaded not guilty to the charge. He is free after posting 10 percent of a $1,000 bond. Another pretrial meeting is scheduled for Friday in Leland at 9 a.m.

According to court documents, on July 8 Farris allegedly took between $200 and $1,000 from an Elmwood Township resident by using false pretenses.

If he is found guilty of the charge, he faces a maximum penalty on the misdemeanor charge of up to one year in jail and or a $1,000 fine, or a fine of up to three times the amount taken, whichever is larger.
