Title: Oh rats! Rodent-in-food blackmail backfires
Post by: THUNDERDUCK on January 27, 2010, 01:35:21 PM
APPLETON, Wis. - A Wisconsin woman who tried to extort money from an upscale restaurant by putting a rat in her lunch has entered no-contest pleas to two criminal charges.

The Appleton Post-Crescent reported Debbie R. Miller, 43, was found guilty after she entered the pleas to a felony extortion charge and a misdemeanor for obstructing police.

Prosecutors said Miller planted the rat at The Seasons on April 17, 2008, and then demanded $500,000 from the owners. She threatened to alert the media.

Instead of paying, the owners turned the rat over to investigators for their insurance company. They determined it was a domestic rat that had been cooked in a microwave.

The restaurant doesn't use microwaves. Miller was arrested about three months later.

Sentencing is scheduled for March 8.

They were really smart, good job for not going by her command, and she should have actually cooked it rather than nuke it :lol:
