HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Sammye Hughes, 77, has spent nearly a month living with tarps on her home instead of windows.

On Aug. 5, around 10:45 a.m., a 20-year-old threw multiple objects, including a car battery and wrench, through eight of her home's windows, and it was all caught on the neighbor's security cameras.

"Scared me to death because all I could see from my bedroom was something flying across my living room," Hughes said.
