CLARKSTOWN, N.Y. -- A Valley Cottage man has been charged with trying to palm off a phony $100 bill at a local gas station, Clarkstown police said.

Kukaj was charged with second-degree possession of a forged instrument, a felony; and petty larceny, a misdemeanor, police said.

He was arraigned in Clarkstown Justice Court and bail was set at $10,000.
