Yes, the DA could charge you as a party to the crime of robbery by sudden snatch. What will determine IF the DA charges you will probably the circumstances under which you stopped the vehicle and gave the woman back her purse. If the police stopped you, and you screamed at your friend to give her the purse after the police stopped you, then you will probably be charged with robbery by sudden snatch, and you may need an attorney.
