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The police department said Truong had withdrawn money from the Bank of America on Blackhawk Boulevard in Houston and was followed by the suspects for nearly 24 miles to a shopping center on Bellaire around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.

Wow. I’m surprised.
Try reading the headline and second paragraph…
“…withdrawn $4,300 from ATM for trip to Vietnam”
About 99% of my ATM withdrawals are done using the ATM at my bank or its other branches.
I’ll wait for our apology, K.
I'll agree that the article is contradictory and confusing on that point, but acting like a smarmy liberal douchebag is not helping your case
Since when can you withdraw more than $500 a day from a ATM machine??
You started it with your false accusations. Smarmy doesn’t hold a candle to that.
Anyone can do it—banks normally have configurable limits. My personal checking has a $5000 ATM limit per day.
And Bragg is busy with latisha trying to handcuff trump
This is why I go into the bank and deal with a teller.
You just don't understand the economics of the system. It's all free tax dollars for the courthouse crowd and associates to keep the revolving door and lifetime maintenance going. The more times these thugs pass through the more they make.
There's a political angle to this too. Members of the courthouse crowd getting elected to our legeslatures, in that it is in their self-interest to make laws that benefits this revolving door system. Such as the "No Cash Bail" that speeds up the rotation of that door.
Dead eyes. I’d kill both of them then sit down and eat a sandwich.
Joggers gotta jugg.
Hate crime.
What ATM allows you to withdraw $4,300?
First thing I noticed! No ATM dispenses that much $$$
That dentist must have been white? Cause if he had been black, or a fag, or a trannie, "Thoroughly Modern Millie" would signal her virtue by running to his defense.
Today's "modern woman" is the bane of civilization and is at at the forefront of our destruction. Repeal the 19th.
No, I didn’t need to see that ghetto trash.
Dontcha just hate it when automatic Spell Check changes what you type?
