A Pennsylvania woman says her son who lost a fingertip in a work accident gave the digit to the husband of the Las Vegas woman now accused of planting it in a cup of Wendy's chili to settle a $50 debt.
"My son is the victim in this," Brenda Shouey told the San Francisco Chronicle for a story Wednesday. "I believe he got caught in something, and he didn't understand what was going on."
Shouey said her son, Brian Paul Rossiter, 36, of Las Vegas, lost part of his finger when his gloved hand was caught in a mechanical truck lift in December at a paving firm where he worked with James Plascencia, the husband of Anna Ayala, who was arrested last month and was set to be arraigned Wednesday. Plascencia was arrested earlier this month on unrelated charges of failing to pay child support in a previous relationship.
