Dominos Delivers! — Driver Saves Abused Woman Who Mouths "Help Me" During Delivery

Hoffmann entered her home without knocking and without her permission. She told Hoffmann to leave and grabbed her phone to call police. As she picked up her phone, Hoffmann allegedly ripped the phone out of her hands, grabbed her by the waist and dragged her toward steps that led upstairs.... Hoffmann shoved the victim, causing her to fall with her back on the steps, then pulled her hair, ripped her shirt and continued to try and drag her up the stairs. In an attempt to get away, the woman told investigators she hit Hoffmann in the groin. Hoffmann then punched her in the face, giving her a black eye and bloody nose....

Prosecutors say Hoffmann then forced her upstairs and onto her bed, binding her hands and feet with a power cord from her vacuum, then shoving a towel in her mouth to ensure "nobody would be able to hear her." The woman told investigators while she was tied up, she had trouble breathing and feared she was going to die. After about 30 minutes, Hoffmann untied her, but, for the next several hours, he would not let her leave her own house. The woman recalled telling Hoffmann, "If you love me, you will let me go" to which Hoffmann replied, "you know I can't do that."

The woman said Hoffmann remarked that he "should have brought his gun in from the car so that he could shoot both of them." Investigators say Hoffmann used the woman's phone to text her children, posing as the victim, telling them she was sick and not to come over for a few days. [snip]

Hoffman now faces charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, strangulation and suffocation, felony intimidation of a victim and burglary of a building.
