Disorderly conduct in Minnesota is a broad charge that covers actions considered disruptive, offensive, or likely to provoke others. This can include public arguments, shouting in a residential area, using offensive language that incites violence, or getting into a physical altercation. Even something as simple as refusing to leave a business or playing loud music late at night could result in an arrest. The consequences of a conviction can be serious, affecting your record, finances, and even your freedom.
