Woman Caught with Her hand in the Cookie Jar (make that an ATM machine)

4/13/07 -- Norman, OK - A Norman woman is caught by police with her hand inside an ATM machine.

According to court records, Veronica Louise Cook, 25, decided to make a withdrawal from the ATM machine at 1201 East Lindsay. The problem? Cook didn't have an ATM card of her own.

Actually, not a problem. It seems no matter what obstacle life throws at a woman, she has something in her purse that will overcome it. In this case it was a set of tweezers.

When police responded to a call that someone was breaking into the machine, they found Cook with "her right arm inside the machine."

Cook told police the machine "ate" her debit card.

Cook then produced three additional ATM cards she claimed she had retrieved from the machine.

Police claim Cook was using a pair of tweezers to commit the ATM heist.

Cook was booked into the Cleveland County jail and has been charged with felony burglary and credit card violations.
