Miller, 43, guilty after she entered the pleas to a felony extortion charge and a misdemeanor for obstructing police. She will be sentenced March 8 in Outagamie County Court.  Miller planted a rat in her lunch at The Seasons on April 17, 2008, and then demanded $500,000 from the owners.  She threatened to alert the media if the money wasn’t paid.”
