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.
