LEAGUE CITY, Texas — A 30-year-old man is believed to be responsible for more than a dozen purse snatchings in the Houston area, according to investigators. Jamell Anthony Hurst, of Houston, is in custody and being charged with aggravated robbery, according to the League City Police Department. He's being held in the Galveston County Jail on a $500,000 bond. The charge stems from a violent attack earlier this month. Police said Hurst stole a 61-year-old woman's purse as she was loading her groceries in a Kroger parking lot on Nov.
