'Finger Finder' Arrested in Wendy's Chili Hoax

Friday April 22, 2005
The Associated Press reports that Anna Ayala, the Las Vegas woman who says she bit into a human finger while eating chili in a Wendy's restaurant in San Jose last month, has been arrested by police. The arrest came on the same day Wendy's International Inc. announced that an internal investigation found "no credible link" between the finger and its own operations. Officials aren't saying much, but have evidently concluded that Ayala planted the finger in the chili herself.  Full story.
