Andre "Dre" Boggs is charged with armed robbery, burglary and conspiracy in three home invasions in April and May. He is being held in the Middlesex County jail on $300,000 bail.

NEW BRUNSWICK - An attorney representing a former Rutgers football player charged with three home invasions is calling the police warrants used to lock up his client vague and "lacking in specificity."

"I have three pieces of paper and there's nothing here," said Jim Donohue, a former prosecutor who represents Andre "Dre" Boggs.

A spokesman for the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office did not respond to a request for comment on this story.

Boggs is charged with armed robbery, burglary and conspiracy in three home invasions in April and May. He is being held in the Middlesex County jail on $300,000 bail.

Tejay Johnson and Lloyd Terry have also been charged in the alleged crime spree that targeted Rutgers students. All have pleaded not guilty.

The warrants, which were obtained by NJ Advance Media, allege that Boggs participated with several accomplices in two robberies in New Brunswick and one in Piscataway. The complaints say Boggs committed the crimes "while armed and/or threatening the use of a deadly weapon."

The complaints do not state the type of weapon allegedly used.

Only one victim is named in the three complaints. NJ Advance Media is withholding the victim's name.

Boggs' mother, who suffers from Lupus and kidney disease, has been unable to bail her son out, Donohue said.

"My client is sitting on high bail," Donohue said. "I think I'd be entitled to a little more specificity. This is garbage."

"At the very minimum we are entitled to know who the alleged victims are," Donohue said. "That's the purpose of the complaint."
