Arnoldo Bazan’s half-baked revenge plot on the owner of Mi Ranchito has ended with Bazan going to federal prison for 10 years.

Bazan hatched a plot with his girlfriend, Yini De La Torre, who was a waitress at the restaurant, to poison the salsa at the Lenexa Mexican

restaurant and serve it to customers. Bazan, with De La Torre’s help, added a Methomyl-based

pesticide to salsa on two occasions and served it to customers. A total

of 48 people fell ill after the August 2009 poisonings,

suffering nausea, abdominal

cramps, weakness, sweating and discomfort.

Some were hospitalized, and the victims ranged in age from children to senior citizens.
