Florida woman rescued after calling 911 to ‘order pizza’; video shows rescue by Volusia Sheriff’s Office

Deputies stopped an alleged sexual assault attempt in Volusia County, Florida, on Oct. 19 after a woman pretended to order a pizza and alerted officers that she was in trouble, according to Sheriff Mike Chitwood.

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

The dispatcher asked her if she knew she called 911 and she said yes.

The sheriff’s office was able to track the cellphone to a field in Pierson, a rural area with lots of ferns, according to Chitwood.

“Deputies went out on foot and began searching for these ferns. They eventually heard loud music coming from a field. When they approached the sound, they discovered a male on top of a screaming female,” Chitwood said.

Body camera video from the rescue shows the woman pleading for help as officers arrive.

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

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

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

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