Minnesota Disorderly Conduct Lawyer
Disorderly conduct is the crime of engaging in a brawl or fight;
disturbing an assembly or meeting; or engaging in offensive,
obscene, abusive, boisterous or noisy conduct or in offensive,
obscene or abusive language that arouses alarm, anger or resentment
in others.
The crime of disorderly conduct is often viewed as a catch-all type
of crime to prosecutors. Many different actions by individuals can
be viewed by overzealous prosecutors as being criminal. Common
examples include: yelling at someone in bar; throwing a snowball at
a neighbor kid; and giving someone the “bird” in public.
While it may seem that many actions appear criminal to a prosecutor,
but trivial to you and I, the crime of disorderly conduct can carry
serious penalties.
Examples of disorderly conduct can include public drunkenness,
inciting a riot, disturbance of the peace, loitering in certain
areas, fighting, physical altercations, obstructing traffic, use of
extremely obscene or abusive language, loud or unreasonable noise.
Penalties
Consequences for a person convicted of a disorderly conduct
crime include, but are not limited to: local jail time, fines,
probation, restitution, and community service.
Additional consequences can befall people working in human services
industries. Many employers have specific policies prohibited their
employees from engaging in disorderly conduct both at work and away
from the job. Violations of such policies can be grounds for
termination.
