The three women were booked on charges of simple robbery and second degree robbery

No assault charges? Seriously?

Sometimes, the arresting officer will “book” on lesser but known charges until the paper work comes in from the ER and then adds additional charges. This can also depend on the prosecuting attorney.

I would be surprised if assault in the second degree (assault with a weapon) is not added later.
