Disorderly conduct is a very common criminal charge that covers a large variety of behavior. The crime is defined under 720 ILCS 5/26-1 [1255000] and is violated when a person acts in a manner that is so unreasonable that it alarms and disturbs another person. As one would imagine, many cases of disorderly conduct begin with a night of excessive drinking. It is not uncommon that a suspect wakes up in a jail cell having no memory of doing anything illegal. That being said, disorderly conduct under 720 ILCS 5/26-1  is typically charged as a Class C misdemeanor which is punishable by up to 30 days in the county jail and a fine of up to $1,500. Though a disorderly conduct charge may have resulted from outlandish or silly behavior, facing a charge of disorderly conduct is nothing to laugh at.

Though most cases of disorderly conduct under 720 ILCS 5/26-1 are charged as misdemeanor offenses, some cases can be charged as felony offenses. A felony offense for disorderly conduct can actually land a suspect in prison for as long as 7 years. A common example of felony disorderly conduct is when a person makes a false police report. This is very serious and is therefore elevated to the felony level. Another very serious disorderly conduct is when a suspect makes a false report of vehicle theft. A person who knowingly reports a car stolen knowing that the vehicle is not stolen faces a Class 2 Felony and from 3- 7 years in prison.
