Woman arrested in connection with chocolate coin scam

A woman who police believe tried to trick a coin dealer into buying chocolates was arrested Wednesday.

Stacy M. Sellner, 30, of Lincoln, was suspected of trying to pass of chocolate coins as the real thing in April. Police said she and a man lured a coin dealer to a gas station parking lot and attempted to sell him the chocolates. When the dealer backed out, she pepper sprayed him and fled.

Lincoln Police Officer Katie Flood said Sellner was arrested on suspicion of felony theft by deception and second-degree assault in connection with the chocolate coin scam.

She was arrested earlier this week on suspicion of shoplifting from a local shoe store, which led detectives to question her in the coin case.

Her alleged accomplice, Cliffton Wagoner of Omaha, died last month of natural causes in Colorado.
