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。密苏里州查尔斯县——一名外州收藏家兼供应商被指控在 7 月份来这里参加钱币展时从另一位供应商那里偷走了数百枚价值 25 万美元的稀有收藏硬币。

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 岁的达拉斯·兰厄姆 (Dallas Langham) 来自伊利诺伊州希尔斯伯勒市，上周被捕，并被指控一项盗窃价值超过 25,000 美元的物品的罪名和一项持有毒品的罪名。这两项罪名都是重罪。

He pleaded not guilty on Friday to both charges.

周五，他对两项指控均表示不认罪。

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.

对朗廷酒店的调查于 7 月份开始，此前，第 64 届密苏里州钱币学会钱币展上的一名供应商向警方报案，称他们的酒店房间被盗，价值约 25 万美元的稀有收藏硬币和其他钱币失踪。

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.

据钱币协会网站称，此次钱币展在圣查尔斯县会议中心举行，汇聚了来自全国各地的 150 多家经销商，被认为是中西部最大的钱币展之一。

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

钱币学会周一没有回应《邮报》的采访请求。

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.

在接受警方采访时，朗廷酒店和另一家供应商表示，他们已同意共用一个酒店房间。另一名未在法庭记录中透露姓名的商贩告诉警方，当他们将贵重硬币和金钱存放在衣柜里时，朗廷酒店就在房间里。

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

警方称，另一名供应商在离开去吃晚饭之前还给了朗廷酒店一把房间钥匙。

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月份接受警方询问时，朗廷表示，他晚上11点回到房间，在房间里呆了大约40分钟，然后才意识到硬币和钱不见了。

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.

他说，他还注意到“门有明显损坏”，但调查人员后来确定，这种损坏与强行进入门很重的酒店房间“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贩的车辆，发现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.

警方在法庭记录中写道，朗厄姆同意接受测谎仪检查，测谎仪测试的结果显示他“在欺骗”。

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."

警方称，他后来承认对甲基苯丙胺上瘾，“他的财务状况不佳”，并“承认在之前的钱币展上从供应商那里偷窃”。

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 被关押在圣查尔斯县监狱，保释金为 10 万美元。根据电子法庭记录，他的下一次出庭日期是周四，而且他尚未聘请律师。
