SALISBURY — A man from Greenville, South Carolina, was arrested Thursday after attempting to purchase a dog with stolen credit card information and a fake ID, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said.

Marcus Quinn Virgil, 33, was charged with felony obtaining property by false pretenses and simple possession of a schedule six controlled substance.

Charlotte Dog Club, a breeder based in Cleveland, reported ongoing fraud cases involving people attempting to purchase dogs with stolen credit card information. In four cases, the same phone number was used, but the buyer always gave a different name.

This week, that buyer submitted a payment that was not flagged. On Thursday, a vehicle arrived at the business with a passenger and driver, but Rowan County Sheriff deputies were waiting. The buyer signed papers for the transaction and deputies blocked the vehicle from leaving and approached the Dodge truck.

The Rowan Sheriff’s Office said Virgil admitted he had used a fake ID for the transaction with the name Brian Stephens. Detectives smelled marijuana in the vehicle and found a bag containing 9 grams of the drug near Virgil, the Sheriff’s Office said.

He was arrested and transported to the Rowan County Detention Center and placed under a $6,500 bond.
