One of the suspects in a counterfeit bills investigation was arrested on Tuesday.

Rexburg Police Capt. Randy Lewis said so far Arlene Annette Rivera and another male have passed seven counterfeit bills. Rivera was arrested in West Yellowstone, Mont., Idaho Falls Police Sgt. Phil Grimes said.

An arrest warrant was issued for Rivera in Idaho Falls on Wednesday for one count of forgery in connection with the counterfeit currency passed at Lowes in Idaho Falls on Aug. 22.

Bond was set at $2,000 on the Idaho Falls warrant. Rivera, who has a Salt Lake City address, was booked into the Gallatin County jail. Rivera is suspected of being involved in similar crimes in other cities around the area, Grimes said.

The male suspect is still being sought and authorities do not have any further information.
