- Second-degree burglary: A third-degree burglary charge can be upgraded to a second-degree charge if you allegedly had a weapon, caused injury to a victim, or if the building which was entered is a home or dwelling.
- First-degree burglary: If you enter a building which is a dwelling armed with a firearm, cause any type of physical injury or use threat with any type of dangerous instrument, this is considered a first-degree burglary.
