Robbery Charges & Penalties in Orange County, California

In California, robbery is a felony offense, punishable by up to 3, 4 or 9 years in state prison. Enhanced penalties may apply if the defendant was armed with a deadly weapon, firearm or weapon of any kind in the commission of the offense.

A defendant may face multiple counts of armed robbery from the same incident, as long as two or more separate victims were affected. For example, if Bob drew a gun and went into a liquor store, demanding all the money in the cash register and also taking the wallets and purses of three different store customers, he may be looking at four different counts of armed robbery all from the same act (one for the store itself, and three for the customers.) In this way, the penalties for robbery may escalate quickly and a defendant may find that he or she is at risk of getting multiple strikes on his or her record.
