Robbery Charges in Arizona<\/h2>

ARS \u00a7 13-1902<\/h3>

The classification for the crime of robbery can be found in Arizona\u2019s Revised Statutes \u00a7 13-1902<\/a>. According to Arizona law, \u201ca person commits robbery if in the course of taking any property of another from his [or her] person or immediate presence and against his [or her] will, such person threatens or uses force against any person with intent either to coerce surrender of property or to prevent resistance to such person taking or retaining property<\/i>.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

In other words, a person commits a robbery offense if they threaten or forcefully take another person\u2019s property. This property robbery can be either directly off their body, from their hands, or in their immediate vicinity. Robbery offenses can also increase in severity. Depending on the circumstances, a person may face an armed robbery or aggravated robbery charge.<\/p>

Robbery vs. Armed Robbery<\/h3>

A simple robbery charge becomes one of armed robbery when the defendant uses a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument to commit the offense. This includes a simulated deadly weapon. A simulated weapon may be something like a toy water gun or when the perpetrator holds his hands in his pockets to make it appear as if he had a gun or other dangerous weapon. As long as the alleged victim reasonably believes they are being threatened with a deadly weapon, an armed robbery charge may result.<\/p>

The classification for armed robbery charges<\/b> can be found under A.R.S. \u00a7 13-1904<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

What is Aggravated Robbery?<\/h3>

Aggravated robbery in Arizona<\/b>, as found in A.R.S. \u00a7 13-1903<\/a>, occurs when a person commits the act of robbery but is aided by at least one accomplice.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Is Robbery a Misdemeanor?<\/h2>

Theft crimes are serious charges in Arizona, especially crimes of robbery. Under Arizona law, robbery of any degree is a felony. This means that the penalties are much harsher than they would be for misdemeanor crimes. If a person is charged with robbery, they face extensive jail time and hefty fines. Depending on whether the offender has a previous conviction for robbery, probation may or may not be an option.<\/p>

Below, the Phoenix criminal defense attorneys<\/a> from Bel\u00e9n Law Firm<\/a> will outline the penalties for robbery, aggravated robbery, and armed robbery in the state of Arizona<\/b>.<\/p>

How Long Can You Go To Jail for Robbery?<\/h2>

If you are charged with robbery and proven guilty, you may face anywhere between one year and potentially up to 35 years in prison. Of course, this all depends on the type of charge you face, whether the offense is classified as a \u201cdangerous offense,\u201d and if you have any historical priors. The facts of your case will determine whether you receive a Class 2 felony<\/a>, Class 3 felony<\/a>, or Class 4 felony charge<\/a>. Our Arizona felony sentencing charts<\/a> can help those charged with felony robbery<\/b> anticipate what punishments they may be up against.<\/p>

Penalties for Robbery in AZ<\/h3>
