SALISBURY — A Rockwell man faces two felony charges after being accused of using counterfeit money to make a purchase at Cheeseman’s General Store.

Keith Steven Varnadore, 36, of 150 Sand Road in Rockwell, was charged Tuesday with felony counts of uttering a forged instrument and possessing counterfeit tools.

The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said deputies received a call about a suspicious man who appeared to be under the influence of a stimulant at Cheeseman’s General Store on Old Beatty Ford Road. When law enforcement arrived, Varnadore was asked to leave the property.

The man asked if he could make a purchase before he left, and the store owner obliged, the Sheriff’s Office said. When it came time to pay, he used a $100 bill that was an “obvious counterfeit.” The Sheriff’s Office said he was both given the $100 bill and that he purchased it for its face value.

The Sheriff’s Office said the man had legitimate, smaller bills in his possession. So, it’s not clear why he used a fake one.
