Florida deputies rescue woman after dispatcher decodes disguised pizza order
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla.
A man has been arrested in Volusia County after a woman used a 911 call disguised as a pizza order to report that she was about to be sexually assaulted.
According to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, deputies received a call on Oct. 19 around 3:45 a.m. from a woman ordering a pizza.
The dispatcher who took the call asked further questions to confirm she was in danger.
Deputies stated that they were able to triangulate where the phone call was coming from because she did not know where she was.
The call led deputies to a field in Pierson. Upon arrival, deputies reported finding the suspect, Luis Hernandez-Moncayo, on top of the woman who was shouting for help.
In an interview with deputies, the woman told them that she had known Hernandez-Moncayo; they were drinking at a bar together, and everything was normal until he consumed cocaine, which had turned him violent. The woman continued to state that he assaulted her multiple times, including choking her.
Hernandez-Moncayo, an illegal migrant, has been accused of felony battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and attempted sexual battery.
