Phoenix and Tempe Disorderly Conduct Lawyer
Almost every state has a disorderly conduct law making it a crime to be drunk in public, “disturb the peace,” or loiter in certain areas. Since the statutes are often used as “catch-all” crimes, many types of obnoxious or unruly conduct may fit the definition. Generally speaking, police often use a disorderly conduct charge to keep the peace when a person is behaving in a disruptive manner, but presents no serious public danger.
