A woman called 911 to order a pizza, which initially puzzled dispatcher Tim Teneyck. However, he quickly realized it was a cry for help. The woman was in an abusive situation, and ordering a pizza was her subtle way of signaling distress.
Tim understood the situation and immediately acted, knowing that in some cases, a pizza order could be a code for help. He stayed on the line to assess the background noise, which helped him confirm the emergency. Police arrested Simon Lopez for domestic violence after the call.
Tim’s quick thinking was praised by the Oregon Police Chief, who plans to use the incident for future training. The woman’s clever tactic and Tim’s response helped save her in a dire situation.
