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

Every person who has in his or her possession any forged or

counterfeited instrument, the forgery of which has previously been

declared to be punishable, other than such as are enumerated in

Section 1578 of this title, knowing the same to be forged,

counterfeited or falsely altered with intent to injure or defraud by

uttering the same to be true, or as false, or by causing the same to

be 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.

R.L. 1910, § 2631. Amended by Laws 2016, c. 221, § 13, eff. Nov. 1,
