It’s an incredible story! A Florida mom held hostage at Knife Point by her boyfriend managed to call for help using a pizza delivery app!
Cheryl Treadway and her three children are trapped in their home on May 5, 2015 after an argument with her boyfriend turned violent. The resourceful mother was unable to use her phone to call for help, but managed to convince her boyfriend to let her use it to order from Pizza Hut, police told media.
I used the app to order pizza, but also wrote “Hostage help 911” in the order comments, which the Pizza Hut employees luckily noticed and called the police!
Police responded and were able to free Treadway and her children safely and arrest Treadway’s friend, 26-year-old Ethan Earl Nickerson
“We’ve never seen this before,” Candy Hamilton, the restaurant manager who took the order, told WFLA. “I’ve been here 28 years and I’ve never seen anything like this happen.”
I’m glad she had the idea!
