What is the Disorderly Conduct? 

Disorderly conduct in the state of Utah, is described as when an individual:

  • Refuses to comply with the lawful order of a law enforcement officer to move from a public place or an official meeting, or knowingly creates a hazardous or physically offensive condition, by any act that serves no legitimate purpose; or
  • Intending to cause public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm.

Examples of disorderly conduct include but are not limited to:

  • Starting a fight;

  • Creating a situation that is dangerous;
  • Throwing trash;
  • Impeding traffic;
  • Saying threatening remarks in a public area; or
  • Causing the general public to be reasonably alarmed for their safety.

What is the Punishment?

The penalty for disorderly conduct is determined by your prior criminal record, and circumstances surrounding the citation you received. Normally, disorderly conduct is charged as an infraction. An infraction is a lesser charge than a misdemeanor charge. 

However, disorderly conduct can be charged as class C misdemeanor if the perpetrator was previously asked to cease the conduct and did not stop. It can be charged as a class B misdemeanor if, the individual had been convicted with disorderly conduct in the last five-year period. Disorderly conduct can also be charged as a class A misdemeanor when the individual has been convicted of disorderly conduct more than twice in the last five-year period. 

A class A misdemeanor is punishable by up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.00.

A class B misdemeanor is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.00.

A class C misdemeanor is punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of $750.00.

An infraction is punishable by a fine of up to $750.00.
