Practice Areas

Burglary

Under the US legal system, there are many different forms of theft. Depending on how the crime was committed, the value of the items stolen, and whether or not another party was injured, the situation may be defined in different ways. In the state of Nevada, burglary is defined as unlawfully entering any of the following with the intent to commit larceny, assault, battery, any felony, or take money under false pretenses:

Any building, room, tent or residence
Vessels
Vehicles
Trailers
Airplanes or gliders
Railroad cars

Under Nevada law, burglary is considered to be a Class B Felony. The punishment for such an act is a required term of anywhere from one to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Offenders who have previously broken into a building or dwelling are not eligible for early release on probation or sentence suspension.

How Weapons Affect a Burglary Sentence

Those who commit burglary with a firearm or any other deadly weapon are still charged with a Category B felony but may be subject to more severe penalties. The punishment for such a crime is imprisonment in a state prison for anywhere from 2 to 15 years and a fine of up to $10,000.
