The Nevada couple responsible for planting a severed finger in a bowl of Wendy’s chili in an attempt to fraud the fast-food chain was sentenced Wednesday in a California court.

Anna Ayala, 40, who claimed she bit into the digit, was sentenced Wednesday to nine years in prison.

Her husband, Jaime Plascencia, 44, was sentenced to more than 12 years. He had paid $100 for the right ring finger of his co-worker Brian Rossiter, who lost it in a workplace accident.

Rossiter later told police that Plascencia offered him $250,000 to keep quiet.

Denny Lynch, Wendy’s senior vice president, asked the judge to send a message that “fraud is a serious crime that demands a severe penalty.’’

In a tearful plea, Ayala apologized to the courtroom gallery saying the scheme was “a moment of poor judgement.”
