A person commits Aggravated Robbery, if the person knowingly takes something of value from another person while using a deadly weapon or any item made to look like or lead another person to believe it is a deadly weapon.
Aggravated Robbery is a class 3 felony if the Robbery is committed with the use of a deadly weapon, if the person actually wounds or strikes the other person with a deadly weapon, if there is another person helping to commit the Robbery with a deadly weapon, or if the person committing the Robbery uses or possesses an item made to look like a deadly weapon or verbally represents that the item is a deadly weapon.
Aggravated Robbery is considered to be an Extraordinary Risk crime, and will also be sentenced under the Colorado Revised Statutes as a Crime of Violence, which can bring with it very serious consequences.
