OPINION

BARKER, Judge.

¶ 1 In this opinion we construe Arizona Revised Statutes ("A.R.S.") section 13-1804(A)(1), (2), and (C) (Supp. 2010).1 Those statutes provide that theft by extortion is a class 2 felony when a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument is used but a class 4 felony when those items are not used. For the reasons below, we affirm as modified and remand for resentencing.
