They were among nine people -- five of them Rutgers football players -- arrested last week following a lengthy investigation.
NEW BRUNSWICK - A dismissed Rutgers University football player, a former player and a New Brunswick man are expected to be arraigned Wednesday on robbery and other charges in connection with a series of home invasions and assaults.
Andre Boggs, 20, of Coatesville, Pa., Tejay Johnson, 23, of Egg Harbor, and Jianan Chen, 19, of New Brunswick are all charged with robbery in a series of home invasions. They were among nine people -- five of them Rutgers football players -- arrested last week following a lengthy investigation. A 10th suspect is still being sought.
Unable to post bail, Boggs, Johnson and Chen are being held in the Middlesex County jail.
Boggs, who was supposed to be starting at cornerback in Rutgers' season opener last Saturday, is charged with two counts of robbery, two counts of conspiracy to commit an armed robbery, burglary while armed and attempted burglary while armed. He is being held on $500,000 bail. Boggs and the four other Rutgers players arrested were dismissed from the team on Saturday by coach Kyle Flood.
In addition to robbery charges, Johnson, a former Rutgers football player, is also charged with aggravated assault. His bail was set at $525,000.
Chen, who is accused of planning a May robbery, is being held on $100,000 bail.
Others charged in connection with the crime spree are dismissed Rutgers football players Nadir Barnwell and Ruhann Peele; they are free on $25,000 bail. The custody status of the other five defendants was unclear; jail officials said they have no record of them being there.
It's also not clear when the other seven will be in court.
