New Hampshire Armed Robbery LawsFirst Degree assault can be specifically found and defined in New Hampshire’s Criminal Code under the following statute:
636:1 Robbery.
Consequences You Face if Convicted of Armed RobberyArmed 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.
