Need help with a loan to a friend

[bam1982]

About a year and a half ago I loaned a good friend of mine (at the time) $2k because he was broke and going through a divorce. He said he was getting a military check in January and would be able to pay me back then. Here it is December and now he screens my calls and doesn't reply to any emails and he moved to Michigan to go to Grad. school. What should I do to get my money bc at the time I didn't need bc i took his word he would have it back to me by Jan. Now he has bailed and ignores me trying to contact him bc I am in sort of a bind and need that money. Any suggestions?
