A Liverpool man faces counterfeit currency and drugs charges after allegedly trying to buy furniture with fake Scottish bank notes.
Sam Walker, 32, is alleged to have committed fraud by promising to pay Instyle Furniture in County Road, Walton £4,200 for goods on April 25 last year.
Walker, of Beetham Plaza in Liverpool city centre, is accused of tendering £4,200 of Scottish bank notes “which he knew or believed to be counterfeit”.
Liverpool Crown Court heard he also faces three counts relating to alleged drug possession on July 9, 2014.
The defendant, formerly from Garston, is alleged to have possessed the Class A drug MDMA and the Class B drugs cannabis and ketamine.
Walker did not appear in the dock during a brief hearing this morning.
Robert Jones, prosecuting, said Walker is yet to enter any pleas to the charges.
Judge Robert Trevor-Jones adjourned the case until February 9, when Walker will appear for a plea and case management hearing.
