Florida Woman Rescued After Calling 911 to Place a ‘Pizza Order’; video shows rescue by Volusia Sheriff’s Office

Deputies stopped an alleged attempted sexual assault in Volusia County, Florida, on Oct. 19 after a woman told dispatchers she was in trouble by pretending to order pizza, Sheriff Mike Chitwood said.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office released part of the 911 call in a separate video, where the woman can be heard asking to order pizza.

The dispatcher asked her if she knew she was calling 911, and she answered yes.

The sheriff’s office was able to track her cellphone to a field in Pearson, a rural area with many ferns, Chitwood said.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office released part of the 911 call in a separate video, where the woman can be heard asking to order pizza.

“The police went out on foot and started searching these ferns. Eventually they heard loud music coming from the field. As they approached the sound, they found a male on top of a screaming female,” Chitwood said.

Rescue camera video shows the woman asking for help as officers arrive.

“He’s trying to rape me. Can you help me? she screams.

Deputies arrested Luis Diego Hernandez-Moncayo on charges of attempted sexual assault, battery by strangulation and false imprisonment, according to the release. He is being held without bail.

Hernandez-Moncayo was in the country illegally and the U.S. Border Patrol has an immigration detainee on his person, according to the sheriff’s office.

According to the sheriff’s office, Hernandez-Moncayo applied for asylum the day before the incident.
