What is Disorderly Conduct in Wisconsin?
Disorderly conduct (Wis. Stat. Sec. 947.01) is the “catch-all” crime. In Wisconsin, whoever, in a public or private place, engages in violent, abusive, indecent, profane, boisterous, unreasonably loud or otherwise disorderly conduct under circumstances in which the conduct tends to cause or provoke a disturbance is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. As you can tell, this charge covers a wide range of conduct. The maximum penalties are 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. But along with those consequences comes the potential to hurt your reputation and good name. At Coad Law, we understand how important these consequences are to you and we will fight for your future and reputation.
What is a Domestic Disorderly Conduct?
In many cases being charged with disorderly conduct may involve a domestic dispute with your significant other, spouse, or even roommate. In that instance you may be charged with disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier enhancement under Wis. Stat. 973.055. That modifier increases the penalty by adding a monetary surcharge. It also can negatively affect your reputation and put you in a class of people you don’t want to be in. We can help you avoid those negative consequences.
