Violent crimes: 2 facing attempted armed robbery charges

Being accused of a crime such as armed robbery can be an intimidating process. A conviction for violent crimes of this nature carries serious penalties that can have a significant impact on the future of an accused individual. Two men are facing similar charges after allegedly attempting to rob an individual at gunpoint in Wisconsin.

The man claims the incident took place around midnight as he was walking home from work. He says that two individuals approached him with pellet guns and took his backpack. After allegedly searching through the bag, he asserts that they handed it back to him without taking anything and fled the scene. According to reports, two men have been arrested in connection with the alleged incident, both of whom face charges for attempted armed robbery.

It is unclear how authorities were able to connect either of the men with the incident in question. In similar situations, police may use identifying marks or clothing to search for suspects, but no information was provided as to whether a description was given by the victim. With the severity of the charges against them, each individual is likely preparing for the subsequent process by focusing on his defense.

When accused of violent crimes such as armed robbery, one may wish to avoid devastating consequences by challenging the charges, but the process can be complex. Those who face similar charges could speak with an experienced attorney for assistance in forming a strong defense. An attorney can evaluate the charges and evidence against a client in Wisconsin and provide advice on the best course of action with which to proceed.
