Breaking And Entering

Breaking and Entering Attorney in Columbus

R.C. 2911.13

Defined

Breaking and Entering is a felony in Ohio.

The Ohio Revised code sets out that someone is guilty of breaking and entering if they:

  • Trespass in an unoccupied structure
  • By force, stealth, or deception,
  • With purpose to steal or commit a felony.

Potential Penalties of Breaking and Entering

An offense of breaking and entering is distinguished from burglary in that the building that the offender breaks into is unoccupied rather than occupied. Because there is a relatively low risk of personal harm when the building is unoccupied, this offense is viewed as less serious. Still, an offense of breaking and entering is a fourth-degree felony, which carries with it a potential penalty of 6-18 months in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.
