Quick action by two local businessmen led to the identification and arrest of a 47-year-old Stockton woman for allegedly stealing items from Rinehart's Jewelry in Nevada, according to a press release from the Nevada Police Department.

Immediately after the theft was discovered, the store manager at Rinehart's alerted the proprietor of Cooper's Pawn Shop. The suspect was later arrested by the Missouri State Highway Patrol in rural Vernon County and the the stolen property was recovered.

The woman, Shelli Smith, was taken into custody and conveyed to the Vernon County Jail and faces one count of felony theft and one count of misdemeanor theft.

A pretrial conference scheduled for Thursday was postponed until Oct. 27, according to online court information.

coopers pawn was not aware of the crime until after she had left. once she had left the Nevada police showed up about 20 mins after she left. Rineharts did not know of the stolen item until after she left there store.

coopers pawn does not get receipt from the person, because most of the time no one keeps them. how ever when they get items they make three tickets one stays with coopers, one goes to the customer, and one goes to the cops Rineharts does not do that. no offense to rineharts ,but they tend to prop up there rings and that's why there is a money difference rineharts did not know that the ring was stolen till after she left so there was no receipt.

I took a ring to Hackers and Coopers and Coopers offered $50 more than Hackers.
