Penalties for Disorderly Conduct:

In most cases, disorderly conduct in Arizona is treated as a class 1 misdemeanor.  This means that the maximum penalties include:

• Six Months Jail
• A fine of $2500 plus surcharge
• Up to three years probation

If charged as a domestic violence offense, a period of probation is mandatory along with domestic violence counseling classes.  You will also lose your rights to possess and own a weapon.

When you are alleged to have recklessly displayed, discharged or handled a deadly weapon such as a firearm or knife, disorderly conduct will be categorized as a class 6 dangerous felony.  In circumstances such as these, a conviction will result in mandatory imprisonment.  The presumptive term of imprisonment for a disorderly conduct offense is 2.25 years.
