A UPS driver from Missouri is being hailed as a hero after rescuing a woman who was being held hostage by her husband and sexually assaulted. Authorities were able to find her safely thanks to his fast thinking!

It all started when the truck stopped at a residence in rural Franklin County, just west of St. Louis, for one of his regularly scheduled trips. When the parcel was delivered to the woman in the town of Robertsville, she managed to write “call 911” on the box.

James Tyler Jordan, 33, was discovered to be keeping his wife captive inside the house and threatening to murder both her and himself. According to court filings, Jordan’s wife claimed that he refused to allow her to leave the house, punched and slapped her, forced her to undress, and sexually attacked her. He kept a pistol to her head, threatening to murder her and threatening to kill himself next.

A three-year-old kid was also there, and the toddler had been imprisoned in a bedroom for 15 hours without food or drink.
Jordan compelled his wife to speak to him as he stood behind her with a revolver when the driver arrived at the house. The woman managed to scribble “call 911” on the parcel while signing for it. As soon as the driver returned to his truck, he phoned the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department, and a SWAT squad arrived to arrest Jordan.

“He was a huge help,” Franklin County Sheriff’s Department Sergeant T.J. Wild said of the driver.

We congratulate this driver for going above and beyond to save this woman’s and her child’s lives! Learn more about this in the video below, and SHARE this article with your friends and family!
