Types of Disorderly Conduct Crimes
Minnesota Statute 609.72 defines the misdemeanor crime of disorderly conduct as taking any action “…in a public or private place, including on a school bus, knowing, or having reasonable grounds to know that [your action] will, or will tend to, alarm, anger or disturb others or provoke an assault or breach of the peace.”
Disorderly conduct is also defined as an offense in which a person recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally:
- Engages in brawling or fighting
- Commits indecent conduct and exposure
- Disturbs an assembly or meeting, not unlawful in its character
- Engages in offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct or in an offensive, obscene, or abusive language tending reasonably to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others.
Crimes and Penalties:
Disorderly conduct punishments can include jail time, fines, probation, restraining orders, and/or community service. The crime is classified as a misdemeanor. Persons charged with a disorderly conduct charge involving physical violence may receive harsher punishments. Disorderly conduct in the workplace may be grounds for termination.
