Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 21

Every person who, with intent to defraud, has in his or her

possession any forged, altered or counterfeit negotiable note, bill,

draft or other evidence of debt issued or purporting to have been

issued by any corporation or company duly authorized for that

purpose by the laws of this state or of any other state, government

or country, the forgery of which is hereinbefore declared to be

punishable, knowing the same to be forged, altered or counterfeited,

with intent to utter the same as true or as false, or to cause the

same to be so uttered, is guilty of forgery in the second degree if

the value of the instrument is One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) or

more and forgery in the third degree if the value of the instrument

is less than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00).

For purposes of this section, a series of offenses may be

aggregated into one offense when they are the result of the

formulation of a plan or scheme or the setting up of a mechanism

which, when put into operation, results in the taking or diversion

of money or property on a recurring basis. When all acts result

from a continuing course of conduct, they may be aggregated into one

crime. Acts forming an integral part of the first taking which

facilitate subsequent takings, or acts taken in preparation of

several takings which facilitate subsequent takings, are relevant to

determine the intent of the party to commit a continuing crime.
