What Is Disorderly Conduct?
Brave Law attorneys can help you understand all the factors that come into play with charges of disorderly conduct in Dunlap IL. Disorderly conduct involves subjects charged with behavior that disturbs the peace. Unruly behavior included in these kinds of cases can involve anything from obscene speech in public, to loitering, to vagrancy, to making a bomb threat, or making a false police report.
Usually, these cases get resolved in court with a ruling whether disorderly conduct applies in the case. Then, a jury will rule on the guilt or innocence of the accused party in the case. A disorderly conduct charge can include a sentence of up to 120 hours of community service, jail time, and fines. In addition, those convicted of making a bomb threat can receive additional fines. These penalties can range from $3,000-10,000 plus the cost of reimbursement for emergency response to the threat.
