14.840 Party to Ordinance Violation.

(1) Whoever is concerned in the commission of an ordinance violation is a principal and may be charged with and convicted of the commission of the ordinance violation although he did not directly commit it and although the person who directly committed it has not been found guilty or has been found guilty of some other ordinance violation based on the same act.

(2) A person is concerned in the commission of an ordinance violation if he:

(a) Directly commits the ordinance violation; or

(b) Intentionally aids and abets the commission of it; or

(c) Is a party to a conspiracy with another to commit it or advises, hires, counsels or otherwise procures another to commit it. Such a party is also concerned in the commission of any other ordinance violation which is committed in pursuance of the intended ordinance violation and which under the circumstances is a natural and probable consequence of the intended ordinance violation. This subsection does not apply to a person who voluntarily changes his mind and no longer desires that the ordinance violation be committed and notifies the other parties concerned of his withdrawal within a reasonable time before the commission of the ordinance violation so as to allow the others also to withdraw.
