It could possibly be a felony depending on the size of the check. I've been served with an arrest warrant for stopping payment on a check before. It was for 750 dollars.
It may be a misdemeanor or felony only if you stopped payment in an attempt to and with intent to commit criminal fraud upon the payee. Merely stopping payment on a check, even a post-dated check, is not a crime in and of itself. In other words there is no such crime as "stopping payment on a check." The crime is fraud, which may be perpetrated by stopping payment on a check.
