Disorderly conduct is a charge in which police arrest someone for disturbing the public order. In other states these offenses are often called “disturbing the peace.” Though disorderly conduct offenses usually result from disobeying the police when given a warning or order, or acting belligerently in public, they are serious crimes in the eyes of the law.  A charge of disorderly conduct is typically related to alleged behavior that is seen as violent or threatening, or which tends to cause public annoyance, alarm, or inconvenience.  Actions that can result in a charge of disorderly conduct, and which are not rare occurrences in Ocean County and Monmouth County, include yelling obscenities, throwing objects, and threatening violence.  If police believe an individual’s actions or behavior poses a danger to public safety, or to another person, they may charge that person with disorderly conduct in order to restore order.

A disorderly conduct charge can have far reaching implications and consequences for anyone unlucky enough to be convicted, not only in Monmouth County or Ocean County but anywhere throughout the State of New Jersey. Disorderly conduct convictions can result in serious fines, loss of driver’s license or professional licenses, and can leave a permanent mark on your criminal record, affecting employment opportunities.
