Armed robbery is the act of committing robbery while the defendant or accomplice are armed with a deadly weapon or threatens to use a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument. Under Arizona law, armed robbery is still considered to be committed even if the deadly weapon or dangerous instrument is simulated or not real and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office will impose armed robbery charges when a gun is simulated with a person’s fingers. Armed robbery is considered to be a Class 2 Felony offense and subject to mandatory prison time when it involves a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.
