LEBANON, Oregon (KPTV) - A telemarketer made a routine sales call and now, she is credited with helping save a woman's life.

The Linn County Sheriffs Office credits a telemarketing team in Nevada with helping save a woman's life in Lebanon.

Mario Gonzales, owner and CEO of Americare Health Products in Las Vegas, called police Wednesday afternoon after a sales associate heard a woman being beaten and screaming for her life over the phone.

Gonzales told dispatchers he could hear the woman yelling, "please don't kill me and please stop."

"You could actually hear the blows, as if he were hitting a punching bag," supervisor Tina Garcia told Las Vegas CBS affiliate KLAS.

When Linn County deputies responded to the home on Eastway Street, they heard a woman calling for help inside and a man saying to be quiet.

When they entered, they saw 33 year old, Walter Ruck, holding the woman but, then he let go. She ran out crying and gasping for air.

Deputies later learned Ruck had tried to smother the woman with blankets and pillows and also grabbed a gun and shoved the barrel near his face and told her to pull the trigger. The victim feared Ruck wanted her to kill her and then himself.

Ruck was arrested and taken to the Linn County Jail on charges of 4th degree assault, menacing and strangulation. Deputies say Gonzales likely saved the woman's life.

The woman told deputies that her cell phone was in her back pocket and she had no idea the telemarketer could hear what was going on and had called for help.

Gonzales only saved her life so his minions can keep phoning her.

She's lucky they found her! The property looked like a dumping ground, and I'm not saying that to be mean.

People fall on hard times sometimes.
