Fingered! April 22, 2005, 02:22:38 PM About time. This has sounded fishy for awhile now.QuoteLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A woman who said she found part of a human finger in a bowl of Wendy's chili last month has been arrested and charged with larceny in connection with the incident, authorities said on Friday.Anna Ayala, 39, was arrested on Thursday night at her home in Las Vegas and was in custody in the Clark County Detention Center there, police officials said.Ayala had said she found the finger in chili prepared at a Wendy's restaurant in San Jose, California on March 22. The charge drew intense publicity and shook the image of the No. 3 U.S. hamburger chain.Wendy's International Inc., was "thrilled that an arrest has been made," Tom Mueller, president of the company's North American business, said in a statement.The larceny charge, which originated in San Jose, was related to the finger incident, but the origin of the finger was still unknown, said San Jose police department spokesman Nick Muyo.More information would be given at a 1 p.m. press conference in San Jose, he said.Wendy's had offered a $100,000 reward for information about the origin of the finger. Officials could not immediately be reached to say whether the reward would be paid.Wendy's has said sales fell significantly in the San Jose area following the incident, causing some franchisees to lay off staff or reduce workers' hours.The chain has said repeatedly that its own investigation into the matter found no evidence of any finger or hand accidents among any of its workers or its suppliers.

Re: Fingered! Reply #5 – April 22, 2005, 03:51:27 PM She's sounded screwed up to me from the start.. her generic little protest statement, making it sound like the finger was some big corporate conspiracy to screw the little people, etc. :wtf: Then it was said she had a history of suing companies at the drop of a hat.If she really is this screwed up in the head, it's kinda sad.. but not quite as sad as the people who have lost their jobs because of her, because their business fell off from this and they had to start cutting people.
