Charged with Disorderly Conduct?

Let an Olathe Criminal Defense Lawyer Stand Up for You!

Disorderly conduct charges are so vague and ambiguous, many people could be committing acts that constitute the crime without even realizing it. Disorderly conduct, or "disturbing the peace," is often the charge arresting officers turn to when they are not sure what to charge you with.

This generalized offense can originate from:

1. Loud arguments with the neighbors
2. Raucous behavior in general
3. Being impolite to police officers

At Martin & Wallentine, our Olathe criminal defense attorneys have a deep respect for the police force in Kansas, but we also believe your constitutional rights and freedoms must be upheld.

What is Considered Disorderly Conduct in Kansas?

Under Kansas Law (K.S.A. § 21-6203), disorderly conduct is defined as any act that knowingly angers, alarms or disturbs another person, provokes an assault or breaches the public peace. The following actions as grounds for charges of disorderly conduct:

• Brawling or fighting
• Disturbing an assembly
• Using fighting words
• Noisy conduct that rouses alarm
