AVON, Colorado — An illegal immigrant who has been deported from the country twice used two fake $100 bills at Wal-Mart and was arrested Monday, Avon Police Officer Dave Wineman said.

Javier Barraza Garcia, 30, of Mexico, used two counterfeit $100 bills, one at McDonald’s and one to buy a $6 pair of gloves shortly before noon, Wineman said.

“It was a pretty good catch on her part,â€
