The star of a TLC reality show and her ex-husband are facing charges in Lexington.

Mellie Stanley and George Lee were arrested on charges of theft by deception, criminal possession of forged instrument and unlawful access to a computer this week. Stanley is booked in the Fayette County Detention Center under the name Mellie Lee. She was arrested in Louisiana.

According to an arrest citation, Stanley and Lee used counterfeit coupons to purchase $18,000 in items at Toys R Us in Lexington and Babies R Us in Hamburg. The crimes happened back in October.

Police said Stanley and Lee were using phony coupons that, when scanned, tricked the store computers into treating the coupons like cash.

Investigators said Stanley committed this same scam at Toys R Us stores around the country. She faces charges in both Virginia and West Virginia.

According to TMZ, one of Stanley's sisters was arrested for a similar scheme at a Target store in 2014.

Stanley appeared in Fayette District Court on Thursday. She pleaded not guilty.

She and Lee were back in court on Friday for a preliminary hearing. A judge waived their cases to the grand jury and set a $5,000 bond for each of them. They must both wear ankle bracelets if they make bond and they cannot have any contact with one another. While their arrest citations list them as married, a lawyer says the pair is divorced.

Stanley is from Louisville. She appeared on TLC's 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' in 2012 and 'Gypsy Sisters' from 2013 to 2015.
