Understanding Gilbert Disorderly Conduct Charges
When we turn directly to the Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.), section 13-2904, we can see that this specifically outlines disorderly conduct charges that a person could face in Gilbert and throughout Arizona. In this state, the following types of conduct are considered disorderly and could lead to a person facing these charges:
- Engaging in violent, fighting, or disruptive behavior
- Making unreasonable noises
- Using offensive or abusive language or gestures to any person in a way likely to provoke a physical reaction
- Refusing to obey a lawful order to disperse that has been issued to maintain public safety near an emergency, hazard, or fire
- Recklessly handling, displaying, or discharging a weapon
- Acting in a way intended to prevent the transaction of business, gathering, procession, or lawful meeting
Any person facing disorderly conduct charges in Gilbert could face a Class 1 misdemeanor offense or a Class 6 felony offense if the incident involved a deadly weapon or some other dangerous object. If a person is facing a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct, they could be placed in jail for up to six months, face a $2,500 fine, and end up on probation for three years. If a person is facing felony charges for disorderly conduct, they could be put into prison for up to one year (two years for aggravated offenses) and a fine of up to $150,000.
What Will an Attorney Do to Help a Disorderly Conduct Case?
The role of an attorney in a Gilbert disorderly conduct case will be to handle every aspect of the situation on behalf of the client. The first thing to recognize is that the language in this statute is very broad, and it gives plenty of power to law enforcement officers to charge a person with disorderly conduct for a wide variety of activities that may or may not be criminal. An attorney will conduct an independent investigation into the incident to determine whether or not the disorderly conduct charge is appropriate for the given situation. An attorney will handle all communication and negotiation with prosecutors in an effort to get the charges reduced or dismissed altogether.
