Boyce Makes First Court Appearance After Greenbrae Carjacking Attempt

Jeffrey Boyce was arraigned Friday morning in Marin County Superior Court on seven felony counts stemming from a series of events that included an attempted carjacking in Greenbrae earlier this week.

Boyce's lawyer requested a two-week continuance before entering a plea, which was granted. Boyce is scheduled to appear in court again on May 17.

Boyce is facing charges of carjacking, kidnapping, attempted carjacking, false
imprisonment, attempted burglary and weapons charges stemming from incidents about two hours apart in Sonoma and Marin counties. 

Boyce is being held without bail.

Boyce became the subject of a manhunt began at 4:30 p.m. Monday when he allegedly carjacked a man in Rohnert Park and drove off in a BMW. Boyce was reported to be heavily armed and possibly mentally ill.

The Central Marin Police Authority received a call reporting an attempted carjacking at 6:51 p.m., where a suspect pointed a rifle at a woman's head. He ran away, and police found him nearby. The woman was identified as Tina Humphrey of Mill Valley.

San Francisco Police suspected Boyce was heading toward the Russian consulate to seek asylum, according to a KPIX report. Police who interviewed his mother indicated Boyce seemed to sympathize with the accused Boston bombers.

Boyce has also been identified by Orgeon State Police as a suspect in homicide that happened there Sunday. The Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as 57-year-old Kirsten Elaine Englund of Castro Valley. The cause and manner of her death were not released.

Englund's body was found Sunday morning near Winchester Bay Wayfinding Point on U.S. Highway 101 three miles south of Reedsport, Ore.
