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.

What did she do that was so bad? That place has plenty of insurance. It won't affect our prices or anything.
Also, I sure hope the slip & fall leech ... erm, I mean, poor lawyer ... she retained for this suit isn't held liable for his/her part in it ... that would be unfair.
ok, she should have to eat the rat as part of her punishment, and put the video on you tube.
