Andre Boggs' family likely can't afford the $300,000 bail. Watch video

NEW BRUNSWICK -- A judge reduced bail for a former Rutgers University football player to $300,000, half of the original amount but likely too much for his family to put up, according to the former player's lawyer. 

Andre Boggs is charged with armed robbery, burglary and conspiracy in three home invasions this spring. Tejay Johnson and Lloyd Terry have also been charged in the alleged crime spree that targeted Rutgers students. All have pleaded not guilty. 

In an order signed Friday afternoon, Judge Dennis Nieves cut Boggs' bail to $100,000 per complaint, of which there are three. There is no option for Boggs or his family to put up 10 percent, and his family can't offer property as a surety, because they live in Pennsylvania.

Jim Donohue, Boggs' attorney, said his family likely could not afford the $300,000 bail. 

Boggs will remain in Middlesex County jail.
