Though the emergency dispatcher initially thought the woman had the wrong number, a man was ultimately arrested on a domestic violence charge because of the call, the police said.

When a woman in Oregon, Ohio, placed an order over the phone for a large pizza, the 911 dispatcher on the other end of the line told her she had the wrong number.

But the woman was insistent. �No,� she said repeatedly. �You�re not understanding.�

Eventually, the dispatcher caught on. �I�m getting you now, O.K.,� he said, according to audio of the Nov. 13 phone call released this week, before asking if the perpetrator was still there.

Placing a coded call is a common way domestic abuse victims can signal for help without jeopardizing others� safety, according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, which provides lifesaving tools and support to abuse victims.
