STRAS, Circuit Judge.
William Shine received a 72-month prison sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm. On appeal, he challenges the district court's
At the time of Shine's prior conviction, Missouri's first-degree-robbery statute provided as follows: "A person commits the crime of robbery in the first degree when he forcibly steals property and in the course thereof he, or another participant in the crime, [commits one of several aggravating factors]." Mo. Rev. Stat. § 569.020.1 (1979). Violations were punishable by over one year in prison. See id. §§ 569.020.2, 558.011.1(1) (2003).
The offense qualifies as a "crime of violence." In addition to imposing a sentence "exceeding one year" in prison, U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(a), the first-degree-robbery statute required an individual to "forcibly steal[] property," Mo. Rev. Stat. § 569.020.1, which necessarily involved the "use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person of another," U.S.S.G. § 4B1.2(a)(1). Indeed, we recently concluded that a prior version of Missouri's second-degree-robbery statute, which consisted of only the forcibly-steals-property element, see Mo. Rev. Stat § 569.030.1 (1979), counted as a "violent felony" under the Armed Career Criminal Act ("ACCA"), see United States v. Swopes, 886 F.3d 668, 670-71 (8th Cir. 2018) (en banc) (citing 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)(2)(B)(i)). As we explained, the statute "require[d] proof [of] physical force or threatened ... physical force," and there was "no realistic probability that Missouri courts would apply [the law] to conduct that does not involve force that is capable of causing physical pain or injury." Id. at 672; see also id. at 671-72 (collecting state-court decisions).
It follows that first-degree robbery, which also has the element of "forcibly steal[ing] property," Mo. Rev. Stat. § 569.020.1, is a crime of violence. To be sure, Swopes addressed the phrase "violent felony," found in ACCA, and not "crime of violence," which appears in the Guidelines. But "[a]s we have recognized, the definition of `crime of violence' ... is nearly identical to the definition of `violent felony.'" United States v. Craig, 630 F.3d 717, 723 (8th Cir. 2011) (internal quotation marks, brackets, and citation omitted); see also United States v. Vinton, 631 F.3d 476, 484 (8th Cir. 2011) (highlighting "the similar structure and wording of the two provisions"). And as relevant here, both require a prior crime to involve "physical force" that is "capable of causing physical pain or injury to another person." United States v. Rice, 813 F.3d 704, 706 (8th Cir. 2016) (citation omitted) (defining "crime of violence"); Swopes, 886 F.3d at 670 (defining "violent felony"). We have already held that Missouri's former second-degree-robbery statute involves physical force, so we must do so again here.
We affirm the district court's judgment.
