AUSTIN (KXAN) - A man who was caught on video attacking and snatching the purse of an 84-year-old woman in a Sears store last year was sentenced to 45 years in prison today, according to officials.
Willie James Sauls, 37, was found guilty of aggravated robbery by a Travis County jury on Tuesday.
Anna Warren was entering the Sears at Hancock Center the morning of Sept. 19, 2011, to buy laundry detergent when an attacker pummeled her to the ground and grabbed her purse.
Police released the surveillance video that captured the attack, which led several people to come forward an identify the suspect.
