What is Robbery?

Robbery is defined as taking the property of another through use of force or threat of force. Robbery is charged as armed robbery under Arizona law if a person:

• Was armed with a deadly weapon or a simulated weapon
• Used or threatened to use a deadly weapon, dangerous instrument (like a knife) or simulated deadly weapon

Arizona law still considers an armed robbery offense, even if the gun was not loaded, or if the gun was never pointed at a victim. Even a finger or non-lethal object pointed through a pocket or shirt can be charged as armed robbery if the victim reasonably believed that the object was a weapon. Armed robbery with a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument is a serious allegation and a class 2 felony offense in Arizona, carrying a mandatory prison sentence of at least 7 years and up to 21 years if convicted.
