Woman bodyslammed during jugging robbery in Houston

Watch as a suspect commits a violent robbery on one woman after allegedly following her after she visited a bank and was later body slammed to the ground.

The money stolen, over $4,000, was being used to purchase tickets for the family's trip to Vietnam. Through some community help, the family managed to take the trip and return to Houston with Truong's mother.

Harrell must serve at least half his sentence before being eligible for parole, and he cannot appeal the conviction or the sentence, according to the terms of the agreement. In exchange for the guilty plea, two other charges connected to other attacks were dismissed.
