Prosecutors say they're charging Simpson with two counts of robbery with use of a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, burglary with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and coercion.

The most serious charge, robbery with a deadly weapon, carries a possible 35-year sentence for each count.

One other person is known to have been arrested. Police say they're searching for four others in connection with the alleged robbery.
