This is exactly what the officer told me. He stated that since the suspect DID use force and intimidation WHILE in control and/or in partial control of the weapon, it was clear-cut armed robbery. He asked me if the firearm was pointed at me at any time during the struggle (yes) and if the suspect said anything threatening to me (no) and then told me that because the firearm WAS int he suspect's control while the suspect was initiating a threatening / forcible act, it is armed robbery... Period.
As far as the person saying the report probably won't get written up;
The officer E-Mailed me back around noon-ish saying he is currently doing a work-up on the suspect and getting everything together, then he's going to have me come into his office. He's even taking the initiative to do this ASAP, saying he could likely get me in tonight, but unfortunately tonight isn't feasible for me... So I should be meeting with him Monday or very early next week.
This guy I'm dealing with is a true professional and he's helping me out a lot here where no one else would.
Dude, you can't win this one! Cut your losses!
