SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- Prosecutors have asked a judge to impose the maximum sentence on a Nevada couple who pleaded guilty to planting a human fingertip in a bowl of Wendy's chili as part of a scheme to extort money from the restaurant chain.

Plascencia, 44, and Ayala, 40, pleaded guilty on September 9 to conspiracy to file a false insurance claim and attempted grand theft with damages exceeding $2.5 million.

Ayala faces up to nine years, eight months in prison for her part in the scam, among other charges. Plascencia could get 13 years in prison on the charges, including failing to pay child support.

Throw the book at her. How selfish to try to get rich by destroying someone else's company!

A search for the finger's owner eventually led to one of Placencia's co-workers, who lost it in an industrial accident, police said

Lost it, a euphemism for it was chopped off somehow.

Chili on top of fries. Although Wendy's is hardly the best for that.

Wendy's is gross. Well, then again, so is most fast food.
