You would have to say how much the check was for. Also you mention "check", then "checks"; just how many did you cash?
Right now you are most probably looking at at least 1 count of forgery and some kind of theft. Without knowing the amount I don't know if it was grand larceny or petty theft. There maybe other charges but without more facts it's hard to say.
No matter what, you are in trouble. You need to speak with an attorney to help you through this. The sooner the better.
