Deputies Rescue Woman in From Attempted Rape By an Illegal Immigrant After She Calls 911 for 'Pizza'

Deputies in West Volusia County, Florida, managed to rescue a woman from an attempted sexual assault after she cleverly dialed 911 and pretended to order a pizza. The woman, sensing the danger of directly revealing her situation, used coded language to discreetly alert the dispatcher. She stated her "pizza order," which prompted the dispatcher to ask a series of follow-up questions, ultimately understanding that the woman was in immediate danger.

The dispatcher, quickly recognizing the ploy, kept the woman on the line while dispatching deputies to her location. Responding officers arrived promptly, successfully intervening and arresting the assailant before any further harm could occur. This quick-thinking action and effective response highlighted the importance of dispatchers’ awareness and ability to read between the lines in emergency calls.

This case underscores the effectiveness of coded distress calls, a technique increasingly known through public safety campaigns, allowing victims in dangerous situations to subtly request help without alerting their aggressors.
