(A) Elements of the offense. A person commits an attempt when, with intent to commit a specific offense, he or she does any act which constitutes a substantial step toward the commission of that offense.
(B) Impossibility. It shall not be a defense to a charge of attempt that because of a misapprehension of the circumstances it would have been impossible for the accused to commit the offense attempted.
(C) Statutory fine. A person convicted of an attempt may be fined or imprisoned or both, not to exceed the maximum provided for the offense attempted. If the fine exceeds that set forth in § 130.99 below, however, the village shall enforce the offense under the provisions of state law.
