​When you've been accused of any crime in the state of Minnesota or Wisconsin, finding a skilled, experienced criminal defense attorney is crucial. This is particularly true when the crime you are accused of includes the use of a weapon.

​While laws vary by state, most jurisdictions require greatly increased sentences when the crime is committed with the aid of a weapon, especially a firearm. Armed robbery is one of the most common examples of this dynamic.

​Theft itself is a relatively simple crime to explain, and, depending on the value of the property stolen, might qualify as a misdemeanor. Adding a weapon to theft, however, greatly increases the seriousness of the charge.

​If charged with simple theft, the severity of the sentence you face will be determined by several factors. Most important is often the value of the property you're accused of stealing. Specifics will vary based on jurisdiction, but in many states, theft is only a felony if the property is above a certain dollar amount.

As such, theft charges can carry with them consequences that include:

​•    Fines

•    Probation

•    Limited jail time

However, adding a gun to the mix makes theft violent in nature, and the severity of sentences increases accordingly.
