The Arizona Republic reports that an 18-year-old man from Dolan Springs has been accused of robbing another man at gunpoint after the two got into an argument about a job. The robbery suspect was identified as Jonathan Keilman, who had reportedly been hired to work for the victim but did not show up to to complete the job on time.
The man finally showed up to the victim's home, but was told that the work had already been given to somebody else. The suspect then allegedly pointed a gun at the man and asked him to put his wallet on the ground. Jonathan Keilman then allegedly took the wallet and fled the scene.
Perhaps the young man didn't know the consequences of committing a robbery crime or maybe he was just taking money that he thought he was entitled to. If he's charged with a robbery crime, he will certainly need a criminal defense attorney, if he wants to be properly defended in court. As of July 9, deputies were still searching for the suspect. Deputies are asking anybody with information on Jonathan Keilman's whereabouts to call the Mohave County Sheriff's Office at (928) 753-0753.
ARS Section 13-1904 states that armed robbery in the state of Arizona is considered a class 2 felony, which is punishable with a lengthy prison sentence. Because of the severity of such a crime, robbery suspects will often contact an experienced Phoenix criminal defense attorney to ensure that their legal rights are being protected in the criminal case.
