On May 8, Boyce approached Amber Beraun while she was retrieving her mail and inquired if she lived in the house behind her.
Beraun, who had just finished her shift, confirmed her residence and offered assistance to the man, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in the case.
Allegedly, Boyce then brandished a handgun, threatening to rob her home.
Thief asks woman to add him as friend on Facebook
Beraun informed him that there were no valuable possessions inside, but she offered him approximately $100 (N76,000) in cash, which she had received as tips at work and kept in her car.
After taking the money, the man compelled Beraun to add him as a friend on Facebook, as relayed by the police.
Beraun later recounted to a local station, WRTV:
"I thought if maybe I added him on Facebook, he would leave, and he did."
During the subsequent month, Beraun claimed to have received messages from Boyce on Facebook.
According to the police affidavit, he wrote to her:
"Look, you know I'mma pay you back. It's a f***** up way to meet someone, but d*mn, you were too pretty to rob."
Suspect invites woman to chill with him
The affidavit further alleges that he invited her to "come chill" with him, based on transcripts obtained from Facebook.
In response, Beraun stated that she was already in a relationship and could not meet with him.
Initially, she did not report the incident but was encouraged to do so by her boyfriend.
Subsequently, in an unrelated case, Boyce was apprehended in June for allegedly shooting two individuals and assaulting another with a brick.
Following a standoff with SWAT police, Boyce surrendered after barricading himself in a building.
