Police in Houston have arrested two teenagers over a shocking 'jugging' incident that left a woman paralyzed
Joseph Harrell, 17, and Zy'Nika Ayesha Woods, 19, were charged after the victim, Nhung Truong, 44, was attacked after taking $4,300 from an ATM
Truong is now paralyzed, uses a wheelchair, and needs round-the-clock support from her family
Joseph Harrell, 17, and Zy'Nika Ayesha Woods, 19, were charged after Nhung Truong, 44, was attacked after taking $4,300 from an ATM.
Shocking video of the incident shows Truong violently grabbed and body slammed onto the ground by an attacker who followed her for more than 23 miles after she withdrew cash from an ATM on February 13.
Houston police described the incident as a 'jugging' attack, where thieves target victims who've recently used an ATM.
The police department said Truong had withdrawn money from the Bank of America on Blackhawk Boulevard in Houston and was followed by the suspects for nearly 24 miles to a shopping center on Bellaire around 11:30 a.m.
In the video, the thief could be seen snatching an envelope that police believe he thought was Truong's cash from her scattered belongings. He began to flee but then turns around and body slammed Truong to the ground and fled with the money.
Police Chief Troy Finner said: 'I just spoke to Ms. Truong... and assured her, and I want the city of Houston to stand behind us. These are very serious injuries. The recovery is very long. And I want her to know the love of our agency but also our great citizens in this city.'
Woods was arrested for a traffic violation then confessed to detectives about the robbery. She also implicated Harrell, Detective Tyrus Fontenot said.

Death penalty.
She’d be better off going to Vietnam, than sharing a country with the vermin that live here now.
Not caught from good detective work...... They were caught due to a random traffic stop. If it were up to me, they would get the death penalty. The poor woman (victim) is paralyzed for life.
Vietnamese gang bangers may balance the scales.
Not many juggers there. They don’t like juggers.
Charlie Don’t Jug!
“Death penalty”
I just read a different DM article about a Colorado dentist who poisoned his wife who bore six children. The obviously female commenters were howling for the death penalty. It looks to me that women are more pro-death penalty than me. Good for them! Our prisons are full of murderers who should have been executed. Full of scum that have killed two-three or more at a clip.
Thanks for posting the images that say it all
Paralyzed her for life for $4,300. I will not be surprised if one of the Vietnamese “social clubs” reaches out and touches those responsible.
so awful to say, but there has to be some kind of balance out there.....predators will keep doing it if nobody stops them.
How can you get $4,300 from an ATM? My ATM allows a max of $300 per withdrawal and (I think) a max of two withdrawals per day.
Something does not add up.
That dentist sounds like he earned a death penalty but unfortunately CO doesn’t have one any more thanks to our commie governor and legislature.
There’s a video at Daily Mail....hard to watch.
My personal opinion....the female black gal put her buddy up to this.
