Shakedown Artist Fingered?

Everybody has surely heard about the woman who allegedly found a finger in her chili. She’s been arrested. It seems that, through a remarkable string of coincidences, this sort of thing happens to her frequently:

She has filed claims against several corporations, including a former employer and General Motors, though it is unclear from court records whether she received any money. She said she got $30,000 from El Pollo Loco after her 13-year-old daughter got sick at one of the chain’s Las Vegas-area restaurants. El Pollo Loco officials say she did not get a dime.

Odd how some people just have lots of bad luck.

  1. That’s what the police here are trying to figure out. It’s refreshing to hear that the general consensus among lookers-on has been to suspect this woman of fraud instead of attacking the corportation she’s filing suit against. It’s usually the opposite.
