MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Montgomery police say one of the people taken into custody after Wednesday’s pursuit with officers is facing multiple charges.

According to police, Quikeem Boynes, 26, is charged with first-degree robbery and discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling. He is also charged with three counts of unlawful breaking and entering into a motor vehicle and four counts of fraudulent use of a credit card.

The arrest affidavits allege Boynes, while attempting to steal from the victim, fired a gun into the victim’s home, which struck a bedroom window. The victim was inside the home at the time.

After the incident, Boynes fled from officers but ultimately crashed along the service road on Eastern Boulevard near Sam’s club.

Maj. Saba Coleman said four people were taken into custody at the crash scene. So far, Boynes is the only one who has been charged.

After being taken into custody, Boynes was transported to the Montgomery County Detention Facility, where he was placed under an $85,000 bail.

correction: Initially, Montgomery police identified the suspect as Quiaeem Boines. His name has since been updated with the correct spelling of Quikeem Boynes.
