When does a theft become a robbery or an armed robbery?
Both Robbery and Armed Robbery are theft crimes. What sets a robbery offense apart from other theft offenses is that it involves the theft of another person's property directly from that person or in the immediate presence of that person.

A robbery can occur by:

Use of force;
Intimidation, threat, or placing the other person in fear of immediate serious bodily injury to himself or another; or
By sudden snatching.

Punishment for Robbery can be imprisonment for 1-20 years with one exception. If the robbery is committed on someone 65 years old or older, the punishment is 5-20 years.

An Armed Robbery is a robbery committed with an offensive weapon, any replica of an offensive weapon, or a device having the appearance of any such weapon. It is actually possible to be convicted of armed robbery if you did not have a weapon. For example, if you put your hand in your pocket and cause someone to believe you have a gun, you could be convicted of Armed Robbery.

Depending upon the circumstances, punishment for Armed Robbery can be

Death penalty;
Life in prison;

No less than 10 nor more than 20 years in prison. Keep in mind that the minimum prison time is 10 years with no early release
