Colorado Springs Man Arrested for Robbery Attempt

Posted By The Samuelson Law Firm || 14-Mar-2012

The Colorado Springs Police Department arrested a man last night for allegedly attempting an armed robbery during which he wore a gas mask to conceal his identity. The incident began around 10:50 p.m. when a passerby reported that a shadowy man wearing all black clothing and a gas mask, was peeking around the corner of a Loaf 'N Jug convenience store.

The officers arrived before the man entered the store, and the man took off running into a nearby drainage ditch. A "suspicious" car was found parked nearby in a mobile home park and they eventually caught the man in a third-floor hallway of an apartment building. The 20-year-old man was arrested and identified, and a "large handgun" was also found by where the man was originally spotted lurking.

The man is being held on suspicion of attempted robbery, but police also suspect him of last week's Diamond Shamrock robbery. If he is convicted of robbery, the type of penalties that he will face depend on the value of the items or money stolen. While petty theft is considered a misdemeanor, grand theft is classified as a felony offense in Colorado. The definition of theft covers a broad area, and can include identity theft, shoplifting and burglary.

Without the help of a skilled Colorado Springs criminal lawyer, the man accused of attempted robbery may face time in prison. The state of Colorado dictates the level of punishment for a robbery conviction based upon the level of violence used, any weapons that were involved and the amount of money or property taken. At The Samuelson Law Firm, we understand how to fight all types of robbery charges and we will never give up on your case.
