It was the kiss of theft.

That's what a judge decided Monday, sentencing a woman to 50 years in prison for slipping men tranquilizer-laced champagne and robbing them as they slept.Tabetha Dougan, 22, was dubbed the "Kissing Bandit" because she would pass wine or champagne from her mouth into those of her victims during a kiss. Three men told police they awoke to find their homes burglarized.

Charges were dropped in one case because the man was too embarrassed to testify. She was convicted of burglary and theft in the other two cases.
