Batts suffered serious injuries and was treated at WakeMed.
Boozer was charged with attempted murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and first-degree kidnapping.
He was being held in the Wake County Jail Saturday under a $2 million secured bond. His first court appearance was set for Monday morning.
