Aggravated Robbery

There is no option for a fine, nor is there any option for an alternative sentence such as probation or suspended time. Further, a person has to serve at least 70% of any sentence they receive before becoming parole eligible for this offense. 

Robbery refers to the use or threatened use of force during the commission of a theft. Simple robbery is a Class B felony, punishable by 5-20 years imprisonment or probation and/or a fine of up to $15,000. 

A person commits Aggravated Robbery if they commit any act of robbery while: 1) being armed with a deadly weapon; 2) representing by word or conduct that they are armed with a deadly weapon; and/or 3) inflicting or attempting to inflict death or serious physical injury upon another person.
