9.04.020 Culpability definitions.
A. The following definitions shall govern the requirements of culpability applicable to this title:
1. Intent. A person acts with intent or intentionally when he acts with the objective or purpose to accomplish a result which constitutes an offense;
2. Knowledge. A person knows or acts knowingly or with knowledge when he:
a. is aware of a fact, facts or circumstances or result described by an ordinance defining an offense, or
b. has information which would lead a reasonable man in the same situation to believe that facts exist, which facts are described by an ordinance defining an offense;
3. Recklessness. A person is reckless or acts recklessly when he knows of and disregards a substantial risk that a wrongful act may occur and his disregard of such substantial risk is a gross deviation from conduct that a reasonable man would exercise in the same situation.
B. When recklessness is an element of an offense, such element also is established if a person acts intentionally or knowingly. When knowledge is an element, such element also is established if a person acts intentionally.
C. A requirement that an offense be committed willfully is satisfied if a person acts knowingly with respect to the material elements of the offense, unless a purpose to impose further requirements plainly appears. (Ord. 499 §2 (part), 1978).
