Midwest City, Okla. - Midwest City police say they have arrested the so-called "underwear bandit" - a woman who wore a girdle to cover her face while robbing a McDonald's restaurant.

Police Chief Brandon Clabes says Sharon Lain was taken into custody Wednesday on burglary and drug complaints.

Surveillance video showed someone reach through a drive-through window at the restaurant and take money from an unattended cash register early Tuesday. The woman had underwear on over her face that was attached with yellow paper clips.

Clabes says when officers arrested Lain at her residence, which had been condemned, they found drugs, a girdle, yellow paper clips and dark clothing that matched what the burglar was wearing in the video.

He says Lain told police she had a gambling problem and stole the money to spend at Remington Park.
