Man arrested following Highland Road robbery spree
BATON ROUGE- A man arrested Tuesday has been accused of robbing several stores along Highland Road near LSU.
Teleray Michael Boykins, 53, was charged with first-degree robbery, two counts of simple robbery, attempted simple robbery and resisting an officer.
On Nov. 18, 2017, the suspect allegedly walked into Wienerschnitzel on Highland Road holding a paper bag over his hand, leading the victim to believe that he was holding a firearm.
According to the affidavit, the suspect asked, "Do you know what time it is?"
When the victim gave him the current time, the suspect responded, "No, you know what I mean. Open the register."
The victim then gave him all the cash in the register: $30.
After reviewing surveillance video, authorities linked the suspect to several others in the area during that time frame, including ones at CVS Pharmacy, Burger King, and Family Dollar.
