Harrell’s bond was set at $250,000 for the new charge.

Harrell was already in jail for a charge of aggravated robbery with serious bodily injury for a separate case in which he was accused of following a woman 24 miles from a bank before body slamming her and stealing her money in February.

The woman was left unable to walk. The case gained national attention as police released video of the attack and asked for the public’s help to find the person responsible. Harrell was arrested in the case in March.

His bond was set at $200,000 in the case, but a judge lowered it to $100,000 about a week later. Records now show a judge on Thursday raised his bond to $250,000 for the charge.

Zy'Nika Ayesha Woods, 19, is also charged with aggravated robbery with serious bodily injury for the February case.

Harrell is also charged with aggravated assault in a third, unrelated case, records show.

HOUSTON - A suspect is wanted following a violent robbery after body-slamming a victim in Houston.

According to Houston police, a woman was walking in front of a shopping center in the 9800 block of Bellaire around 11:30 a.m. on February 13.

That's when the woman stated she was approached by an unknown male, who grabbed her, and attempted to take an envelope containing cash she was carrying.



The victim then dropped her items to the ground, so the suspect grabbed what he thought was the envelope and began to run away.

That's when he realized that he had the wrong envelope.

A Houston teen has been accused of slamming a mother of three into the ground during a “jugging” robbery that left the victim paralyzed — and he appeared this week in court, where he had his bond slashed in half to $100,000.


Joseph Harrell, 17, was ordered held last week on $200,000 bond following the harrowing, caught-on-camera Feb. 13 attack that left Nhung Truong unable to walk, Fox News reported.


Prosecutors had asked for the $200,000 bond because he had just been released on a $100 bond on Jan. 26 on an unlawful carrying of a weapon charge.


But his court-appointed attorney argued Wednesday to have his bond reduced to $100,000, saying his family could not afford to spring him.



“It was confirmed that bond conditions are in place that would place Mr. Harrell on 24-hour house arrest and require him to wear a GPS monitor should family members be able to post sufficient bonds at some point in the future,” his attorney, Catherine Evans, told Fox News.
Surveillance video showed Harrell had trailed Truong from a bank to a shopping center for 24 miles. He then body-slammed her into the ground and stole the $4,300 in cash she had just withdrawn.

“While on bond for Unlawful Carrying a Handgun, [Harrell] stole money from and assaulted the [victim], causing the [victim] broken ribs, a fractured spine, and paralysis from below the arms, which is serious bodily injury,” prosecutors wrote.

Truong, a 44-year-old single mother of three, may never regain full function of both of her legs even after receiving over a month of treatment in the hospital, Fox News reported. Her doctors have reportedly said there is a 50% chance she will be able to walk again.
