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

Officers 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 a pizza, according to Sheriff Mike Chitwood.

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

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

According to Chitwood, the sheriff’s office was able to trace her cell phone to a field in Pierson, a rural area with lots of ferns.

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

“Officers got out on foot and began searching the ferns. Eventually they heard loud music coming from a field. As they approached the noise, they discovered a male on top of a female screaming,” Chitwood said.

Bodycam video from the rescue shows the woman pleading for help as emergency services arrive.

‘He’s trying to rape me. Can you help me?’ she shouts.

Officers arrested Luis Diego Hernandez-Moncayo on charges of attempted sexual battery, battery by strangulation and false imprisonment, the post said. He is being held without bond.

According to the sheriff’s department, Hernandez-Moncayo was in the country illegally and the U.S. Border Patrol has an immigration officer with him.

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