§ 6-11. Unauthorized use of animal.

Latest version.

Any person who shall take or use any animal not his own, without the consent of the owner, and in the absence of the owner and with intent temporarily to deprive the owner thereof of his possession thereof, without intent to steal the animal, shall be guilty of a class 6 felony; provided, however, that if the value of such animal shall be less than $200.00, such person shall be guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor. The consent of the owner of an animal shall not in any case presume or imply because of such owner's consent on a previous occasion to the taking or using of such animal by the same or a different person. Any person who assists in or is a party or accessory to or an accomplice in any such unauthorized taking or using shall be subject to the same punishment as if he were the principal offender.
