FAQ
Generally, you are charged with a summary offense for disorderly conduct. This means that the potential consequences include up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $300. However, if your intention is to cause substantial harm or serious inconvenience, then you will be charged with a third degree misdemeanor.
Disorderly conduct is a criminal offense in Pennsylvania. This means that you could face potential incarceration and fines. A conviction for disorderly conduct is going to result in you having a criminal record, which can affect future opportunities when employers and landlords conduct background checks.
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.
Does disorderly conduct come up on a background check? Yes. Disorderly conduct is usually charged as a misdemeanor, though it may be elevated to a felony, such as if a person falsely shouts “fire” in a crowded place. Misdemeanors and felonies both come up on criminal background checks.
Summary: Punishable by up to 90 days in jail, a $300 fine plus court costs, and a criminal record for a minimum period of 5 years; Third-Degree Misdemeanor: Punishable by up to 1 year in jail, a $2,000 fine, and a permanent criminal record.
