Defending Robbery crimes in Rogers County requires an experienced criminal defense attorney. A Prattville woman faces charges on a 2016 robbery from Claremore’s BancFirst. She slipped a piece of paper to the teller demanding money at gunpoint. Claremore chief Stan Brown claims the woman admits to several other robberies throughout Green Country too. Although bank robbings are less common than home break-ins and muggings, it is still a serious crime. If you are facing these charges we can help guide you through the legal system. This article explains more on robbery and what you may be facing.
Robbery Crimes in Rogers County:
For starters, we need to define “robbery”. Under Oklahoma law, it is “a wrongful taking of personal property” of another. This must further occur “against his will” and use “force or fear”. Just like in the story above, a gun may incite fear even if no physical harm comes to the victim. So, to charge a person with robbery, the State must show:
– wrongful taking of property
– against the will of the person who owns the property
– through physical force or inciting fear
Oklahoma’s Robbery Punishments:
Oklahoma uses five classifications to determine the seriousness of charges:
- first degree
- second degree
- conjoint
- robbery with a dangerous weapon,
- attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon
No matter which class of charges you face, these are all felonies.
Felony crimes in Oklahoma generally incur fines of $1,000 and a specified time in jail. This stint in prison often has a minimum of one year, but may significantly increase with the severity of the robbery.
