What Are
Robbery Bail Bonds?
Robbery is Alabama's most serious theft-related charge because it involves force or the threat of force against another person. Unlike theft — which is classified strictly by the dollar value taken — robbery is classified by the circumstances of the crime: whether a weapon was used, whether an accomplice was present, and whether anyone was seriously injured.
A robbery bail bond works the same way as any bond — M&J Bail Bonds pays the full bail amount to the court and you pay the 10% state-regulated premium (Ala. Code § 12-19-311). The key difference is scale. Robbery bail amounts in Alabama are set significantly higher than standard property crimes — often $15,000 to $250,000 or more, depending on the degree.
For federal context on how frequently robbery and other violent crimes are prosecuted, families can review data published by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
⚠️ Aniah's Law Notice
Robbery 1st Degree (§ 13A-8-41) is listed under Alabama's Aniah's Law. A judge can deny bail entirely at an Aniah Hearing on a Robbery 1st charge. Call M&J immediately — we will tell you exactly what the booking record shows and whether Aniah's Law applies to your specific case.
Alabama Robbery Statute
Alabama classifies robbery into three degrees under Ala. Code §§ 13A-8-41 through 13A-8-43. Here's a plain-English breakdown of each degree, and how Aniah's Law can affect bail on the most serious charge.
Ala. Code §§ 13A-8-41 · 13A-8-42 · 13A-8-43Robbery 3rd Degree — Class C Felony
The baseline robbery charge under Ala. Code § 13A-8-43. Uses or threatens to use physical force on another person to compel them to deliver property or comply with the robbery. No weapon and no accomplice required.
Robbery 2nd Degree — Class B Felony
Under Ala. Code § 13A-8-42, robbery committed while aided by another person actually present at the scene, or where the defendant threatens the imminent use of a deadly weapon.
Robbery 1st Degree — Class A Felony
The most serious degree under Ala. Code § 13A-8-41. Applies when the defendant is armed with a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument, or causes serious physical injury to any person during the robbery.
Carjacking & Special Cases
Robbery involving a motor vehicle is often charged as Robbery 1st Degree even if no weapon was displayed, depending on the circumstances of the taking and any threat made to the driver or passengers.

Aniah's Law — Robbery 1st Degree Can Be Denied Bail
Robbery 1st Degree is specifically listed under Ala. Const. Art. 1 § 16 (Aniah's Law, 2022 amendment). A judge can deny bail entirely at an Aniah Hearing on a Robbery 1st charge. This is not automatic — the judge makes this determination case by case. Call M&J immediately for the most accurate information on your specific case.
Ala. Code §§ 13A-8-41 · 13A-8-42 · 13A-8-43 · This page provides general legal information only. It is not legal advice. Consult a licensed Alabama attorney regarding your specific situation.

What Are The Penalties For Robbery In Alabama?
Alabama robbery penalties increase significantly with the degree charged. Here is what a conviction at each level carries under Ala. Code §§ 13A-8-41 through 13A-8-43:
Robbery 3rd Degree
Class C Felony- Fine
- Up to $15,000
- Prison
- 1 year 1 day – 10 years
- Statute
- Ala. Code § 13A-8-43
Robbery 2nd Degree
Class B Felony- Fine
- Up to $30,000

Robbery 1st Degree
Class A Felony- Fine
- Up to $60,000
- Prison
- 10 years – Life
- Statute
- Ala. Code § 13A-8-41
- Note
- Aniah's Law may apply — bail can be denied
License Suspensions & State Fees
License suspensions are administered by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) — view official license suspension information →. First and second offenses also carry a $100 Impaired Drivers Trust Fund fee (§ 32-5A-191.2).
Habitual Offender Act
Prior robbery convictions under Alabama's Habitual Felony Offender Act (Ala. Code § 13A-5-9) can result in life without parole on a 4th felony conviction. Bail is set significantly higher for repeat violent offenders.
Robbery Vs. Theft
The critical distinction: robbery requires force or the threat of force. A theft that becomes a robbery mid-crime — for example, a shoplifter who pushes an employee to escape — is elevated to robbery immediately.

How Much Is Bail For Robbery In Alabama?
Robbery bail is set by a judge at arraignment, not by a standard county schedule. The table below reflects typical bail ranges seen in Mobile County and across Alabama. Your actual amount may be higher or lower.
Charge Level
Avg Bail Range
Your Cost (10%)
01Robbery 3rd Degree
Bail: $15,000 – $30,000
Your cost: $1,500 – $3,000
02Robbery 2nd Degree
Bail: $30,000 – $75,000
Your cost: $3,000 – $7,500
03Robbery 1st Degree
Bail: $75,000 – $250,000+
Your cost: $7,500 – $25,000+
How The Math Works
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) sets the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the total bail amount. That is the non-refundable fee paid to M&J Bail Bonds to post your bond. Robbery 1st Degree frequently carries six-figure bail amounts — M&J Bail Bonds specializes in high-dollar violent felony bond situations, including collateral arrangements and payment plans for larger premiums. Call us regardless of the bail amount; we handle the full range. Note: Robbery 1st Degree may fall under Aniah's Law, where bail can be denied entirely.

Payment Plans
For Real Families
Most families don't have the full 10% premium sitting in a checking account — and that is completely normal. M&J Bail Bonds offers flexible payment arrangements tailored to your financial situation so cost is never the reason your loved one stays in jail longer than necessary.
Payment Plans
We work with you on a payment schedule for the premium. Ask our agents about monthly payment arrangements when you call. No two situations are the same — we will find something that works for your family.
Collateral Options
Depending on the bond amount, collateral may or may not be required. Many DUI bonds — especially first and second offenses — do not require collateral at all. Ask us about your specific situation.
Multiple Payment Methods
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH / bank transfer, Zelle, and cash. Ask about which methods work best for your payment plan arrangement.
Important
The 10% premium is non-refundable under Alabama law — it is earned the moment the bond is posted, regardless of how the case resolves, even if charges are dropped. This is not M&J policy — it is Alabama state law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311). Our agents will explain this fully before you sign anything.

Start Bail ApplicationBail Eligibility
Who Qualifies For Bail?
Robbery 2nd and 3rd Degree defendants almost always receive bail once it is set. Robbery 1st Degree is the one charge where bail can be denied under Aniah's Law — but it is not automatic. Here is how eligibility breaks down by degree.
Robbery 1st Degree — Aniah's Law
⚠️ Bail may be denied. This Class A Felony is listed under Aniah's Law, and the judge holds an Aniah Hearing to determine whether bail will be set at all.
- Class A Felony — listed under Aniah's Law
- Judge holds Aniah Hearing to determine bail
- Call M&J immediately — we check the booking record
Citations
Ala. Const. Art. 1 § 16 (amended 2022)
Robbery 2nd Degree
✅ Bail is available in most cases — but set high. Collateral is commonly required on this Class B Felony.
- Class B Felony
- Bail: $30,000–$75,000
- Collateral commonly required
Citations
Ala. Code § 13A-8-42
Robbery 3rd Degree
✅ Bail is available in most cases. This Class C Felony is the fastest and most affordable robbery bond to post.
- Class C Felony
- Bail: $15,000–$30,000
- Most bondable within hours of booking
Citations
Ala. Code § 13A-8-43
Prior Violent Felony Convictions
Habitual Offender Act status may significantly elevate bail. Bail is set case-by-case by the judge and repeat violent offenders face steeper terms.
- Higher bail set case-by-case
- Possible flight-risk flag
- Habitual offender status can elevate charge exposure
Citations
Ala. Code § 13A-5-9 (Habitual Felony Offender Act)
No Cosigner Or No Local Ties
An underwriting policy, not a criminal statute. Without a qualified cosigner or Alabama ties, financed terms can't be approved.
- Out-of-state defendant
- No verifiable income or employment history
- No cosigner and no collateral available
Citations
Ala. Code § 12-19-311 governs the premium itself; financing eligibility is a separate approval decision made by the surety.
Who Usually Qualifies
Robbery 3rd and 2nd Degree defendants almost always receive bail once it is set by the court, and most are bondable within hours of booking.
Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically
Robbery 1st Degree falls under Aniah's Law, and a judge may deny bail entirely after an Aniah Hearing. Prior violent felony convictions can also elevate bail under Alabama's habitual offender statute.

The Bail Process
On An Alabama Robbery Charge
A robbery arrest in Alabama follows a predictable sequence, but a judge — not a standard bail schedule — sets the bail amount at arraignment. Here is exactly what happens from arrest to release.
1
Step 1 — Arrest & Booking
Booking happens at the Mobile County Metro Jail (450 St. Emanuel Street), operated by the Mobile County Sheriff's Office. All robbery charges require bail set by a judge — not the county schedule — which means arraignment must happen first before bail is determined.
2
Step 2 — Call M&J Immediately
We locate the booking, confirm the degree charged, and monitor the case for when bail is set. On a Robbery 1st Degree charge, we flag immediately if Aniah's Law has been invoked. You can also search the Who's In Jail inmate search tool yourself, or call us and we will look it up for you.
3
Step 3 — Costs Explained Upfront
The 10% premium (Ala. Code § 12-19-311), Alabama state fees, collateral requirements — common on robbery bonds — and payment plan options for high-dollar premiums are all explained before you sign anything.
4
Step 4 — Bond Posted
Once you approve the terms and payment is arranged, our agent posts the bond directly at the Mobile County Metro Jail once bail has been set and terms are approved.
5
Step 5 — Release
Release typically happens 2–6 hours after posting. Strict release conditions are common on violent felony bonds and GPS monitoring may be required. Check alacourt.gov for court date information — every court date must be attended to keep the bond active.
