42 歲的達拉斯·蘭厄姆 (Dallas Langham) 上週被捕，並被指控一項盜竊價值超過 25,000 美元的物品的罪名和一項持有毒品的罪名。

ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. — An out-of-state collector and vendor has been charged with stealing hundreds of rare and collectible coins valued at $250,000 from a fellow vendor while here for a coin show in July.

英石。密蘇裡州查爾斯縣——一名外州收藏家兼供應商被指控在 7 月來這裡參加錢幣展時從另一位供應商那裡偷走了數百枚價值 25 萬美元的稀有收藏硬幣。

Dallas Langham, 42, of Hillsboro, Illinois, was arrested and charged last week with one count of stealing items valued at more than $25,000 and one count of drug possession. Both counts are felonies.

42 歲的達拉斯·蘭厄姆 (Dallas Langham) 來自伊利諾伊州希爾斯伯勒市，上週被捕，並被指控一項盜竊價值超過 25,000 美元的物品的罪名和一項持有毒品的罪名。這兩項罪名都是重罪。

He pleaded not guilty on Friday to both charges.

週五，他對兩項指控均表示不認罪。

The investigation into Langham began in July after a vendor at the 64th annual Missouri Numismatic Society coin show called police to report that their hotel room had been burglarized and approximately $250,000 in rare and collectible coins and other money was missing.

對朗廷酒店的調查於7 月開始，此前，第64 屆密蘇裡州錢幣學會錢幣展上的一名供應商向警方報案，稱他們的酒店房間被盜，價值約25 萬美元的稀有收藏硬幣和其他錢幣失蹤。

The coin show, which was held at the St. Charles County Convention Center, brings together more than 150 dealers from across the country and is considered one of the largest coin shows in the Midwest, according to the Numismatic Society's website.

據錢幣協會網站稱，這次錢幣展在聖查爾斯縣會議中心舉行，匯聚了來自全國各地的 150 多家經銷商，被認為是中西部最大的錢幣展之一。

The Numismatic Society did not respond to the Post-Dispatch's interview requests on Monday.

錢幣學會週一沒有回應《郵報》的採訪要求。

When interviewed by police, Langham and the other vendor said they had agreed to share a hotel room. The other vendor, who is not named in court records, told police that Langham had been in the room when they were storing their valuable coins and money in the closet.

在接受警方採訪時，朗廷酒店和另一家供應商表示，他們已同意共用一個飯店房間。另一名未在法庭記錄中透露姓名的商販告訴警方，當他們將貴重硬幣和金錢存放在衣櫃裡時，朗廷酒店就在房間裡。

Police say that the other vendor also gave Langham a room key before leaving for dinner.

警方稱，另一名供應商在離開去吃晚餐之前還給了朗廷飯店一把房間鑰匙。

When questioned by police in July, Langham said that he returned to the room at 11 p.m. and was in the room for about 40 minutes before he realized the coins and money were missing.

7月接受警方詢問時，朗廷表示，他晚上11點回到房間，在房間裡待了大約40分鐘，然後才意識到硬幣和錢不見了。

He said he also noticed "obvious damage to the door," but investigators later determined the damage was "not consistent" with forced entry into a hotel room with a heavy door.

他說，他還注意到“門有明顯損壞”，但調查人員後來確定，這種損壞與強行進入門很重的酒店房間“不一致”。

Police searched the other vendor's vehicle and found nine-tenths of a gram of methamphetamine.

警方搜查了另一名商販的車輛，發現了十分之九克的冰毒。

Langham agreed to a polygraph exam and the results from the lie detector test showed that he was "being deceptive," police wrote in court records.

警方在法庭記錄中寫道，朗厄姆同意接受測謊儀檢查，測謊儀測試的結果顯示他「在欺騙」。

Police say he later confessed to being addicted to methamphetamine and that "his finances were not in good shape" and "admitted to stealing from vendors at previous coin shows."

警方稱，他後來承認對甲基安非他命上癮，“他的財務狀況不佳”，並“承認在之前的錢幣展上從供應商那裡偷竊”。

Langham is being held in the St. Charles County Jail on a $100,000 cash-only bond. His next court date is Thursday, and he has not yet hired an attorney, according to electronic court records.

Langham 被關押在聖查爾斯縣監獄，保釋金為 10 萬美元。根據電子法庭記錄，他的下一次出庭日期是星期四，而且他尚未聘請律師。
