Things got really bad on a Wednesday. Carolyn alleges her boyfriend Jeremy, a convicted felon, beat her repeatedly and threatened her at gunpoint. In fact, the two wrestled over the handgun and it went off in their home!
Jeremy wouldn't let Carolyn leave the house and held her hostage there for two days. Meanwhile, she was trying to figure out a way to get help. Then, she had an idea.
Carolyn convinced her boyfriend that her dog needed to go to the vet. But Jeremy insisted on going with her and bringing along his gun. In the car, he threatened to kill Carolyn and her family if she tried escaping.
She knew she was taking a big risk.

Note To The Veterinarian Saves Woman's Life
When Carolyn and Jeremy showed up at the DeLand Animal Hospital, Carolyn knew she had just one chance at breaking free. She managed to slip a note to the veterinary staff, alerting them to her predicament.
"Call the cops. My boyfriend is threatening me. He has a gun. Please don't let him know," the note read.
