Jordan enters a jewelry store and demands that the cashier hand over the cash register contents while waving a visible but non-functional replica gun. The cashier complies without incident. Which of the following charges is most appropriate?
Robbery is defined by the taking of property directly from a person through force or intimidation, regardless of whether actual physical harm occurs. In this scenario, Jordan used intimidation by brandishing a replica weapon to obtain money, which constitutes robbery. Theft involves the unlawful taking of property without confrontation, assault involves causing apprehension of imminent harm, and burglary involves entering a structure unlawfully with intent to commit a crime inside.
