There are three types of robbery charges in the state of Tennessee, which vary in severity. A basic robbery is the intentional theft of property from another person by using violence or instilling a sense of fear in the victim.
Aggravated robbery is more severe than basic robbery because it includes the use of a deadly weapon, a display that makes the victim believe a deadly weapon is present, or an instance where the victim suffers any bodily injury during the robbery.
Especially aggravated robbery is the most severe level of robbery, and this is a robbery in which the thief actually uses their deadly weapon and the victim suffers a bodily injury as a result.
