Armed Robbery

Robbery involves theft and the use or threat of physical force. With that in mind robbery, armed robbery can be described as the threat of or actual physical force while committing a theft with the use or threat of use of a deadly weapon, such as any firearm, knife or any other object or substance that is able to cause death or seriously injure a person. More severe than robbery itself, armed robbery carries a harsher prison sentence. If charged with armed robbery, seek assistance immediately to defend your rights.

First Degree assault can be specifically found and defined in New Hampshire’s Criminal Code under the following statute:

636:1 Robbery.

Armed robbery is not only a felony charge, but also can lead to longer prison time than a simple robbery charge. For example, if you are charged with armed robbery, you’ll facing Class A Felony charges. When charged with a Class A felony for armed robbery, there is the possibility of a $4,000 fine and up to 20 years in state prison, which is followed by probation.

In New Hampshire, laws extend the prison sentence for the use of a fire arm in a robbery. With an armed robbery sentence, prosecution will strongly push for harsh sentencing. Any type of threat with the use of a fire arm is not taken lightly in the state of New Hampshire. You must, again, be aware that the actual use of a fire arm is not necessary to be charged with armed robbery. Even an attempt to use the firearm can still be charged as armed robbery.
