Disorderly conduct is considered by the State of Arizona to be a Class 1 Misdemeanor when a person, with intent to disturb the peace or quiet of a neighborhood, family or person, or with knowledge of doing so, engages in the following:

  • fighting, violent or seriously disruptive behavior
  • use of abusive or offensive language or gestures to any person present in a manner likely to provoke immediate physical retaliation by such person
  • Making unreasonable noise
  • Making any protracted commotion, utterance or display with the intent to prevent the transaction of the business of a lawful meeting, gathering or procession
  • Refusing to obey a lawful order to disperse issued to maintain public safety in dangerous proximity to a fire, a hazard or any other emergency

Disorderly conduct is considered to be a Class 6 Felony when a person, with intent to disturb the peace or quiet of a neighborhood, family or person, or with knowledge of doing so, recklessly handles, displays, or discharges a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument. Under this section, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office could charge this action as a dangerous offense which mandates prison time if convicted.
