According to WCVB, Celtics assistant coach Walter McCarty was arraigned in Framingham District Court on Thursday morning on a charge of larceny. The station said that the charge stemmed from accusations of repeatedly bouncing checks to a contractor who installed approximately $39,000 worth of cabinets in McCarty’s home.

A court document said McCarty claims his identity was stolen, affecting his checking account. McCarty's lawyer, Glen Tagliamonte, said the case was about insufficient funds and the matter should not be in criminal court. Tagliamonte plans to file a motion to dismiss the charges.

So if I've got this straight, McCarty's identity was stolen, causing him to have a low checking account balance, which caused him to bounce checks repeatedly with a kitchen cabinet store.  I'm not exactly sure how something like that ends up in court but there are obviously a lot of missing details.
