A woman in Florida got help out of a dangerous situation from an unlikely source: Pizza Hut.
WFLA reported the story of Cheryl Treadway, a woman who escaped a hostage situation with the help of her cell phone and a local Pizza Hut.
On May 4, 2015, Cheryl Treadway of Highlands County, Florida, placed an order on her phone’s Pizza Hut app — a small hand-tossed pizza with pepperoni. Oh yeah, it also came with a note telling store owners that she was being held hostage and asking them to please send help.
Treadway and her children were being held at knifepoint by her boyfriend Ethan Nickerson. Upon receiving her order, the local Pizza Hut called the police, who arrived at her home and arrested the boyfriend.
