In Wisconsin, disorderly conduct is a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. Although the charge may seem straightforward, the State still carries the burden of proving each required element beyond a reasonable doubt.
To obtain a conviction for disorderly conduct, the prosecution must establish that:
- You engaged in violent, abusive, indecent, profane, boisterous, unreasonably loud, or otherwise disorderly behavior; and
- Under the circumstances existing at the time, your conduct tended to cause or provoke a disturbance.
Because disorderly conduct allegations often depend heavily on context and interpretation, it is important to have an experienced criminal defense attorney evaluate the facts and protect your rights.
