Telemarketer alerts police to alleged assault 900 miles away

Chamille McElroy of Americare Health & Nutrition placed a call to a woman in Lebanon, Oregon, but instead of a “hello” she heard what sounded like a violent struggle on the other end of the line.

McElroy alerted her supervisor, Tina Garcia; then her boss Mario Gonzalez, CEO of Americare, stepped in. Gonzalez says he was walking around the sales floor when one of his managers asked him to listen to a call, and what he heard was very traumatic.

Ruck was booked into the Linn County Jail on charges of assault, menacing and strangulation.

CNN reached out to Ruck’s attorney, Mark Heslinga, for comment but has not heard back.
