Defending You Against Penalties for Burglary Crimes in Howard County
While most people consider robbery and burglary as theft-related crimes, there are significant differences between them. Under the Maryland Statutes, burglary involves entering a building or residence illegally, regardless of whether a theft was involved. Charges and penalties include:
- First degree burglary: Involves breaking into someone’s home for the purpose of committing a theft or violent crime and carries a penalty of up to 25 years imprisonment.
- Second degree burglary: Involves breaking into a storehouse and carries a jail sentence of 15 year, 20 if you attempted to steal a firearm.
- Third degree burglary: Involves a break in with the intent of committing any type of crime. It carries a maximum ten year jail sentence.
All of the above are felony changes. As experienced Columbia robbery and burglary lawyers, we known that in addition to jeopardizing your immediate freedom, these charges could prevent you from obtaining a job, a home, student loans and other types of aid. At the Law Offices of Todd K. Mohink, P.A, we take all burglary charges seriously. Even fourth degree burglary, which is simple breaking and entering resulting in misdemeanor charges, could result in a three year jail sentence.
