Theft by false pretenses regarding a check for $310 for bond.

I wrote a check to a "bondsman" who had been falsely representing himself and his scam artist client who was NEVER in jail to begin with. The check was for $310, it stated "for clients name's bond" and it was made out to the "bondsman". He cashed it, and claimed the bond was posted. But there never was a bond to be posted. I have voicemails where he states his name, that's he's a bondsman, that he's representing the client, etc....ALL of which was false to coerce me into writing the check. Would this fall under theft by false pretenses? I know it's not a lot of money or a heavy charge, but it's something. I also discovered he has a criminal background that includes a past fraud charge...
