ROBBERY

Robbery occurs if when an individual is committing a theft crime, he or she intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes bodily injury to another individual or threatens another person in a way that places them in fear of imminent injury or death. The charge can be raised to aggravated robbery if the defendant used a deadly weapon in the process of committing the theft offense.
