A woman who was held against her will saved herself and her kids using Pizza Hut app.
The press release from Highlands County Sheriff’s Office stated that Cheryl Treadway and her children were being held hostage by her boyfriend, Ethan Nickerson, who forbade her to make calls or write texts, and threatened her with knife.
When she tried to leave the house to pick up the children from school, Nickerson grabbed her and took her cell phone, and went with her to pick up the children.
Luckily, Treadway managed to convince the man to let her use the cell phone to order a pizza, and she cleverly used the additional notes section of the online order form to write “Please help.
The note can be seen in the Pizza Hut receipt, wedged between a free garlic topping and the convenience charge cost.
Thankfully, the police arrived after which Nickerson surrendered himself.
Candy Hamilton, Pizza Hut’s manager said that it was the first time in 28 years they had seen something like this come through.
