Woman in Wendy's Case Arrested

LAS VEGAS(AP) The woman who claimed she found a finger in her bowl of Wendy's chili last month has been arrested, the latest twist in a bizarre case about how the 1 1/2-inch finger tip ended up in a bowl of fast food.

Anna Ayala was taken into custody late Thursday at her Las Vegas home. She was arrested on a warrant alleging grand larceny and attempted grand larceny, Las Vegas Police Sgt. Chris Jones said.

Authorities said would not provide further details until a news conference Friday afternoon in San Jose, Calif. _ the city where Ayala claimed she bit down on the finger in a mouthful of her steamy stew.

Ayala's 18-year-old son, Guadalupe Reyes, said he had gone to the store around 9 p.m. when he got a phone call from a friend who was back at the Las Vegas home.

"We rushed back and she was already gone," Reyes said.

Reyes said he had no other details and was waiting to hear from his mother. A handwritten sign on the door of her home Friday morning instructed reporters not to knock, and telephone messages were not returned.

Ayala, 39, was held overnight at the Clark County jail in Las Vegas, where records showed she was being held without bail.

In Ohio, Wendy's officials praised the police's actions. "We're thrilled that an arrest has been made," Tom Mueller, president and chief operating officer of Wendy's North America, said in a statement.

Ayala's claim that she found the fingertip, complete with a well-manicured nail, on March 22 initially drew sympathy. But when police and health officials failed to find any missing digits among the workers involved in the restaurant's supply chain, suspicion fell on Ayala, and her story has become a late-night punch line.

Ayala hired a lawyer and filed a claim against the Wendy's franchise owner, Fresno-based JEM Management. But after police searched her home in Las Vegas and continued to question her family, she dropped the lawsuit threat, saying the whole situation was just too stressful.

Stupid bitch. What the hell possesses people to pull this crap. We know damn well there was no finger in her chili.

I got a finger for her alright!

Work was terrific, as always. Ran into one of my old co-workers from Lexington there today.

Can you say 'awkward'?

I'm sure there'll be more run-ins. Feh!

Once again, I managed to get my days mixed up. It is, in fact, tomorrow that the landlord is coming to show the apartment. I realized it was Saturday far too late to pick up our DVDs at the post office. Guh! I thought it was Sunday!

Well, not much going on. Short day at work tomorrow. Have a great one!
