It shall be unlawful for any person to be an accessory to an ordinance violation. A person is an accessory to an ordinance violation if, with intent to hinder, delay, or prevent the discovery, detection, apprehension, prosecution, conviction, or punishment of another for the commission of an ordinance violation, that person renders assistance to such other person. For the purposes of this section, the term "render assistance" means to:

(1) Harbor or conceal such person;

(2) Warn such other person of impending discovery or apprehension; except that this does not apply to a warning given in an effort to bring such other person into compliance with the law;

(3) Provide such other person with money, transportation, weapon, disguise, or other thing to be used in avoiding discovery or apprehension;

(4) By force, intimidation, or deception, obstruct anyone in the performance of any act which might aid in the discovery, detection, apprehension, prosecution, conviction, or punishment of such other person; or

(5) Conceal, destroy, or alter, or assist in concealing, destroying, or altering any physical evidence that might aid in the discovery, detection, apprehension, prosecution, conviction, or punishment of such other person. (Code 1979, § 27-28)
