Boyd was booked into the Buncombe County Detention Facility under NO BOND (ineligible for release) by a magistrate due to the Pretrial Integrity Act. The investigation into this case and similar incidents over the past few weeks in the same area remain under investigation, and it is anticipated that additional arrests will be made. 

We encourage everyone to stay cognizant of the fact that many areas within the city sustained significant damages due to Helene, and that Buncombe County remains under an emergency declaration. APD officers are conducting additional patrols and operations within the flood-affected zones, and entry into these areas by unauthorized persons could result in enforcement action being taken.  

If you have any information about this break-in or any other illegal activity, you are urged to contact the APD at (828) 252-1110. You can also send an anonymous tip using the TIP2APD smartphone application (search “Asheville PD” in your app store) or by texting TIP2APD to 847411.
