Disorderly Conduct | MN Statute 609.72
Disorderly conduct is often used by the police and prosecutors as a “catch all” offense if they believe your conduct involved disturbing the peace of others by simply being noisy, argumentative or fighting and brawling. Many times disorderly conduct can be used to sidestep or reduce an assault charge. Disorderly conduct is still a misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine and it does go on your public criminal record.

Many prosecutors and police do not realize that “self defense” IS a defense to a charge of disorderly conduct. Moreover, police and prosecutors often believe that merely ruffling someone’s feathers with unflattering speech is a criminal offense!
