Local Resident Held Hostage

PORT RICHEY, FL — This is the transcript of the Wednesday morning 911 call made just minutes before police arrested the assailant.

OPERATOR: 911, what is your emergency?

CALLER: (whispering) Please help me.

OPERATOR: Hello. Is everything OK?

CALLER: She's coming for me. Please! I thought she was going to let me go, but I can see her hand again -

OPERATOR: Whose hand?

CALLER: The girl. The little blonde girl.

OPERATOR: Wait, a little girl? A little girl is doing something to you?

CALLER: OK, I really don't think now is the time to be making fun of me.

OPERATOR: I'm sorry. (chuckling) What is she doing to you?

CALLER: Look, I can hear you laughing. You think this is funny, but I'm serious. She's thrown me all over this place, and I managed to hide myself up on the counter, but I can see her looking at me again, and I don't like the look of this. She has appliances.

OPERATOR: Appliances? Like a refrigerator?

CALLER: Yeah, a refrigerator, smart-___. I've already been in the microwave twice, and now she's got a blender.

OPERATOR: Sir, if this is a joke, there are serious repercussions for abusing the emergency 911 system. I hope -

CALLER: THIS IS NO JOKE! SEND SOMEONE QUICKLY, OR IF I LIVE THROUGH THIS, I SWEAR, I'LL -

OPERATOR: Sir? Sir, are you there?

CALLER: (muffled) Help! (inaudible) ...please, no... (inaudible) ...let go...

Police were immediately dispatched to the caller's location where they found the victim, known only as "green," on the brink of death. Under pressure from law enforcement, the assailant reluctantly released the victim. She showed no remorse, but surrendered without incident.

Authorities say the assailant, whose name is not being released, has a history of violence against playthings. 

One of the witnesses, a stuffed bunny, spoke freely about the happenings within what she referred to as "the chamber."

"I tried to tell everyone before, she's heartless. Heartless, I tell you. She put me in the microwave. And what did they do? Absolutely nothing. She's free to do as she pleases. And now this. I mean, I'm still having nightmares." (click here to see Bunny's story)

Another witness, who calls himself "Daddy's Doggy," recalled one of the assailant's first documented crimes against playthings. "I was in the toybox, minding my own business, then all of a sudden I was being held by one paw and swung violently in circles until it was all I could do to keep my stuffing down. Then, just when I thought she was putting me back, I realized I was in the dishwasher. No telling what would have happened if I hadn't have been rescued when I was. I hate baths, but the dishwasher, that's gotta be sheer torture. And you should have seen what she did to Haylie's bear! Oh, it was awful. I just pray they can rehabilitate her in some way before some poor toy doesn't make it one day." (click here to see Doggy's story) (click here to see Bear's story)

While police have not yet released an official statement, our reporters were able to snap one photo before they were banished from the scene:
