Disorderly Conduct

A skilled lawyer can challenge the prosecution's case, questioning whether your actions truly fit the legal definition of disorderly conduct and if they were, in fact, "willful" and "disturbing to the public peace."

Disorderly Conduct Charges in Maryland

A disorderly conduct charge in Maryland is a serious misdemeanor. It can feel like a minor issue, but a conviction could impact your future. You could face fines, a jail sentence, or both.

The state must prove specific details to convict you. They must show that you willfully acted in a disorderly way that disturbed public peace. This might include making unreasonably loud noises.

A conviction for disorderly conduct can result in a fine of up to $500 and up to 60 days in jail. In some cases, such as interfering with a sporting event or a medical facility, the penalties can be harsher, with up to 90 days in jail and increased fines.

Whether your case is in Annapolis, Crofton, Ocean City, or Bethesda, a local attorney who understands the court procedures and has relationships with prosecutors in surrounding counties like Anne Arundel, Montgomery, and Worcester can be a crucial asset in fighting the charges and protecting your future.
