[CC 1983 §13.010]
Whenever in this Code or any other ordinance of the City, or
in any rule, regulation, notice or order promulgated by any Officer
or agency of the City under authority duly vested in him/her or it,
any act is prohibited or is declared to be unlawful or an offense
or misdemeanor or the doing of any act is required or the failure
to do any act is declared to be unlawful or an offense or a misdemeanor,
and no specific penalty is provided for the violation thereof, upon
conviction of a violation of any such provision of this Code or of
any such ordinance, rule, regulation, notice or order, the violator
shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00)
or by imprisonment in the City or County Jail not exceeding ninety

any case wherein the penalty for an offense is fixed by a Statute
of the State the statutory penalty, and no other, shall be imposed
for such offense, except that imprisonments may be in the City prison
or workhouse instead of the County Jail.
[CC 1983 §13.020]
Every day any violation of this Code or any other ordinance
or any such rule, regulation, notice or order shall continue shall
constitute a separate offense.
A.
A person
is criminally responsible for the conduct of another when:
1.
The Statute defining the offense makes him/her so responsible; or
2.
Either before or during the commission of an offense with the purpose
of promoting the commission of an offense, he/she aids or agrees to
aid or attempts to aid such other person in planning, committing or
attempting to commit the offense.
B.
However,
a person is not so responsible if:
1.
He/she is the victim of the offense committed or attempted;
2.
The offense is so defined that his/her conduct was necessarily incident
to the commission or attempt to commit the offense. If his/her conduct
constitutes a related but separate offense, he/she is criminally responsible
for that offense but not for the conduct or offense committed or attempted
by the other person;
3.
Before the commission of the offense he/she abandons his/her purpose
and gives timely warning to law enforcement authorities or otherwise
makes proper effort to prevent the commission of the offense.
