Posted by Unknown | Jun 09, 2016 | 0 Comments

Lots of things can happen while playing poker with your friends. But, seldom do you think one of those things would be a robbery. According to the news, a robbery is exactly what one man and his friends experienced while playing a game of poker at the man's home in Boulder, Colorado. While the group was playing poker, a masked man barged into the home wearing a dark hoodie and a horse mask, and carrying a wooden paddle. Another man, who was holding a gun, yelled for all poker players to put their hands up while the other robber with the horse mask stole $3,500 from their poker game. If these men are found by police in Boulder or anywhere else in Colorado, they will be charged with Aggravated Robbery, C.R.S. 18-4-302. They could also be charged with Burglary, C.R.S. 18-4-202, for entering and remaining unlawfully in an occupied structure with intent to commit a crime therein. This is a class 3 felony in Colorado.
