It starts in a bar I'm standing at the bar
having a drink she's turning and I guess she
I thought I was good looking.
Fifteen, twenty minutes later, I made my move.
I said, would you like to go and have a drink
over at my place?
She goes, sure.
Twenty-three hours later, Tony Muhanna woke up,
missing his wallet and two Rolex watches worth $16,000.
Muhanna had become another victim of a Mickey Finn.
Police say most Mickey Finn victims are knocked
out by a prescription drug called Ativan.
When mixed with alcohol, this can put you to
sleep in minutes.
I lay on the bed.
The last thing I remember, she goes, I'm going
to call a taxi.
In the last two weeks, there have been seven
Mickey Finn hits in Dallas, most at upper-class clubs.
And a lot of our customers are very wealthy,
come in here, wear the Rolex watches, the nice
jewelry and that,
and that's what the ladies are looking for.
At this North Dallas bar, management is warning
patrons about Mickey Finn robbers.
We post signs in our restrooms to clipping from
the newspaper about Mickey Finn victims,
and at the top of it is in big letters, Beware
Gentlemen of Mickey Finn Girls.
Reports of Mickey Finn robberies dropped after
two women were arrested in February
and charged with the death of 28-year-old
Edmund Knopp, an Arlington man who'd been drugged.
Police believe the current increase in Dallas
is due to a new group of women moving into the area.
