A. For the purpose of this chapter, a person is guilty of an attempt to commit any act made an offense by any ordinance of this municipality if, acting with the kind of culpability otherwise required for the commission of the offense, he engages in conduct constituting a substantial step toward commission of the offense.

B. For purposes of this section, conduct does not constitute a substantial step unless it is strongly corroborative of the actor’s intent to commit the offense.

C. No defense to the offense of attempt shall arise:

1. Because the offense attempted was actually committed; or

2. Due to factual or legal impossibility if the offense could have been committed had the attendant circumstances been as the actor believed them to be. (Code 1975 § 13-411)
