Bra packed with sedatives to steal from men

Detectives say at least one man died at the hands of Veronica Palmez after she spiked his drink.

The 35-year-old woman from Madrid has denied ever having known the 59-year-old man who died and claims she simply wanted to put her victims to sleep in order to steal their wallets. ‘We believe she targeted married men who were then too embarrassed to report what happened,’ said a police spokesman. 'We believe there are many more cases of people who woke up with a sore head and relieved of their possessions who did not report it.

'And in one case we believe a 59-year-old man who was one of the victims did not wake up at all.'

Police said she had changed her appearance with various wigs for different victims and always had four of the bright blue liquid filled sachets at any one time in her bra.

Lap dance awarded a man $650,000

A Palm Beach, Fla., man has been awarded $650,000 after he sued a local nightclub where he was injured by a stripper's shoe during a lap dance.

Michael Ireland was getting a lap dance at Cheetah Club in West Palm Beach in 2008 when the woman's heel poked him in the eye, NBC Miami reported Thursday. The heel punctured Ireland's eye socket and broke bones around his eye and nose. Ireland, a roofer, has experienced double vision ever since, lawyer Lake Lytal told the Palm Beach Post. "When this case was first filed, many people criticized it simply because it occurred at a strip club," Lytal told the media after the settlement was reached Thursday. "But we feel the $650,000 settlement goes to show that this was a serious case with serious injuries."
