In the state of Arizona burglary charges can be categorized into two types. One of the most common charges is known as ARS 13-1506. That charge is one that prohibits individuals from entering commercial structure or a residential yard with the mental intent of committing a theft or some other type of felony. This type of charge is a class four felony. Probation is available for most people charged with this type of crime. However, it  is possible for people to face prison time for burglary in Arizona. Read below to learn about the factors that prosecutors consider.

What Circumstances Make Burglaries More Serious?

There are several circumstances which make the crime of burglary more serious. Below we have provided some questions that are taken into account in order to determine how serious the crime is:

  • Was a weapon used?
  • Was the defendant with an accomplice?
  • Was anyone injured, hurt, or threatened?
  • Does the defendant have prior felony convictions?

Burglary in the state of Arizona is a type of trespassing case in which the intent of the trespasser of the defendant in question, is to commit a theft or a felony. Also keep in mind that the crime does not have to actually require the commission of a theft or felony.

As a result of this, the statements that the defendant has, or may make, are very important. Also, if there was a dangerous weapon involved or used in the burglary case in question, then this is where charges can get very serious. Although, there are various possible defenses that a good criminal defense attorney can use in order to successfully represent the case.

The police must establish what was going on in the mind of the intruder. Because of this, burglary is the type of offense that an experienced criminal defense attorney can attack, assuming that there is a lack of evidence as to the reason why a person was found on a property.

My husband sat in jail for 3 months before we got him out with no bond. Weeks later the case was dismissed. His lawyer Joe was beyond helpful and I can honestly say it was the best money I ever spend.
