Burglary Penalties Explained

If you have been charged with burglary, it means you are accused of breaking into and entering a building with the committing a crime of theft, or even a felony. First-degree burglary is defined by a person breaking into a home or building and threatening the occupants with a deadly weapon, or using fake keys to break into the building in question.
