A Wendel woman told a judge on Thursday that she never meant to harm any of the six women she and her then-boyfriend targeted during a purse-snatching spree in the summer of 2014. But one of the victims, an assistant district attorney, suffered a broken hip when Autumn Leslie Walsh’s accomplice grabbed the woman’s purse and pushed her to the ground in the parking lot of a Hempfield store. “Nobody was ever supposed to get hurt,â€? said Walsh, 34, during her sentencing hearing on charges of robbery, aggravated assault, theft and conspiracy. “I feel awful that she got injured.â€? In July, Walsh entered guilty pleas to the charges in all six cases. Judge Debra Pezze on Thursday sentenced her to five to 10 years in prison. Walsh’s accomplice, Jason R. Price, 39, of Jeannette, entered guilty pleas in September. He is serving a 12 1â?„2– to 25-year sentence. Pezze was poised to sentence Walsh to a longer term of six to 12 years. She decided moments prior to imposing the sentence to run Walsh’s prison terms concurrently, resulting in the shorter term. Pezze noted Walsh was forced to care for her younger sister when both their parents died in 2001. In 2013, she awoke to find her sister dead of a drug overdose, beside her in a bed they shared. “She’s had to deal with more in her life than most people in five lifetimes,â€? Pezze said. Walsh’s attorney, Brian Aston of Greensburg, said “everything just blew apartâ€? for Walsh when she met Price. Walsh said she takes responsibility for her role in the purse snatchings and apologized to the victims. She attributed her actions to a drug addiction and said she has been sober since her incarceration. “I didn’t realize how much I had changed when I started doing drugs,â€? Walsh said. “Jail saved my life.â€? District Attorney John Peck said a pre-sentence report indicates Walsh had a heroin addiction. She reported spending $200 to $300 daily on heroin, he said. Police said the crime spree began July 23, 2014, when the pair robbed a woman of her purse in the parking lot of a TJ Maxx store in Hempfield. Price dragged one of the victims — the woman was eight months pregnant — through a Walmart parking lot. Barbara Jollie, an assistant district attorney, broke a hip when Price grabbed her purse and shoved her to the ground as she left the Ross Dress for Less store in Hempfield. Police said Walsh drove a getaway car in most of the robberies. In at least one, Price was the driver while Walsh tried, unsuccessfully, to take a purse from a woman who was sitting on a bench at the rear of Westmoreland Mall.
