Volusia County deputies rescue woman after dispatcher decodes disguised pizza order

A man was arrested in Volusia County after a woman used a 911 call disguised as a pizza order to report she was about to be sexually assaulted.

According to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office (VSO), 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 more questions to confirm that he was in danger.

VSO stated that they were able to triangulate where the phone call was coming from as 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 screaming for help.

In an interview with deputies, the woman told them she knew Hernandez-Moncayo; they drank together at a bar and everything was normal until he took cocaine, which made him violent. The woman went on to state that he assaulted her several times, including choking her.

Hernandez-Moncayo, an illegal immigrant, was charged with assault by strangulation, false imprisonment and attempted sexual assault.
