Ralph Valletta

Ralph Valletta is a 25-year veteran taxi driver from Reading, Pennsylvania.

On March 7, 2016 was held up at gunpoint at North 10th and Buttonwood streets in Reading by Victor Martinez-Herrera.

It turns out that Terry Ely, a sheriff's deputy had pulled up behind the taxi without the suspect realizing it. Behind the wheel of the patrol car was Berks County Deputy Sheriff Terry Ely. Ely said he knew something was wrong when the taxi didn't move, despite a couple green lights. [undefined]

Victor Martinez-Herrera was arrested on the spot and later charged in connection with the crime. [undefined]

A YouCaring page was set up to help fund Valletta.
