Disorderly conduct crimes are charged as misdemeanors. Penalties for a disorderly conduct conviction, such as accusations of being drunk in public, can lead to a fine of up to $1,000, up to six months in county jail, or both.
Disorderly conduct records are a blot on your criminal record that can follow you for years to come, potentially affecting various aspects of your future prospects.
If convicted, a defendant charged with disorderly conduct may be sentenced to up to 30 days in jail in addition to costly fines. An attorney can help you fight your charges and hopefully avoid spending any time in jail.
