Minnesota Statute 609.72 defines disorderly conduct as the act of disturbing others, creating alarm, provoking an assault, or breaching the peace. If your child has been accused of disorderly conduct, it’s important to seek the representation of a criminal defense lawyer who knows juvenile law and how the system works.
Judith A. Samson is an experienced defense attorney who can help you and your child navigate the system. There are many decisions that have to be made. When you have the right guidance and an advocate in your corner, you can effectively fight for the best possible outcome.
Experience In Juvenile Disorderly Conduct Cases
A teen or adult can be charged with disorderly conduct if any of the following exists:
- Brawling or fighting
- Using obscene, offensive, or abusive language that causes alarm, resentment, or anger
- Rowdy behavior at a party
- Drinking in public where it isn’t permitted
- Playing loud music late at night or early in the morning
- Damaging personal property
- Petitioning where it isn’t permitted
Many people believe that disorderly conduct isn’t a criminal offense. They think that it constitutes a fine and that’s it. The truth is that it can result in time spent in a juvenile detention center. There may also be a fine involved.
