ELKINS — A Randolph County man faces a felony charge after allegedly using a counterfeit $100 bill at an Elkins restaurant.

Christian Riggleman, 37, is charged with counterfeiting, a felony. He is currently being held at the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on a $100 cash only bond.

According to the criminal complaint, filed by Sergeant K. Shifflet with the Elkins City Police Department, on Aug. 27, Shifflet responded to the C.J Maggies restaurant in Elkins in reference to “uttering counterfeit money.”

Upon arrival, Shifflet spoke with an employee who stated that a man, later identified as Riggleman, came into the restaurant and ordered a lemonade, the complaint states.

Riggleman allegedly paid for the lemonade with a $100 bill, and the employee gave Riggleman back approximately $96 in change.

Upon counting the drawer at the end of her shift, the employee determined the bill Riggleman gave her to be fraudulent, the complaint states. Shifflet examined the bill himself and found that it said “Movie Prop use only” and was “easily identified as being a fraudulent bill.”

Shifflet writes that he obtained photographs of the bill, and that he was able to identify Riggleman due to prior encounters.
