Types of Disorderly Conduct

Disorderly conduct can encompass a wide range of incidents or behaviors that fall under New Hampshire laws called ‘Breaches of the Peace’. The most common behavior that leads to a disorderly conduct charge is fighting or other public and violent behavior. Disorderly conduct also includes shouting obscenities and offensive words that can lead to a violent reaction in public. Obstructing traffic, walkways, or entrances to buildings also falls under disorderly conduct. Interfering with police action or emergency personnel and their ability to render aid, refusing a police order to move or disperse, and making unreasonable noises in public can also lead to a disorderly conduct charge. Being involved in a riot or disrupting a lawful assembly also constitutes disorderly conduct under New Hampshire law. Refusing to comply with a peace officer’s orders can be charged as disorderly conduct. Unauthorized persons entering an area closed off by a peace officer can be charged with disorderly conduct. As you can see, there are a broad range of actions that can fall under breaches of the peace, or disorderly conduct.

Because the range of behaviors and actions that can lead to a disorderly conduct charge can vary so much, so can the criminal penalties. A basic criminal conviction of disorderly conduct can result in a fine up to $1,000 and up to one year in jail. Disorderly conduct can be charged as a misdemeanor offense if the action continues after a request from any person to desist, otherwise it is a violation level offense in New Hampshire.
