A former Windham selectman who is accused of writing a bad check to the town is scheduled to go on trial in February.

Christopher Doyle, 28, of 4 Hawley Road, Windham, is accused of writing a bad check for $333.50 when he registered a Toyota sedan in September.

The account had been closed since 2003 and Doyle did not respond to two letters asking him to make good on the check, according to police.

Doyle is scheduled to go on trial on Feb. 7 in Salem District Court. He is being represented by lawyer Gerard R. LaFlamme, Jr. of Haverhill, Mass.

The misdemeanor charge carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $2,000 fine. Doyle was one of 13 Republicans who represented Windham and Salem in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. He did not seek re-election this year.

In a separate case, Doyle faces a felony assault charge. He is accused of striking poll worker Gail Webster in March 2005 after he lost a re-election bid to the board of selectmen.
