§ 9.04.010. Disorderly conduct.  


Latest version.
  • A.

    A person commits the crime of disorderly conduct if, while within the corporate limits of the city, that person:

    1.

    With intent to disturb the peace and privacy of another not physically on the same premises or with reckless disregard that the conduct is having that effect after being informed that it is having that effect, the person makes unreasonably loud noise;

    2.

    In a public place or in a private place of another without consent, and with intent to disturb the peace and privacy of another or with reckless disregard that the conduct is having that effect after being informed that it is having that effect, the person makes unreasonably loud noise;

    3.

    In a public place, when a crime has occurred, the person refuses to comply with a lawful order of a peace office to disperse;

    4.

    In a private place, the person refuses to comply with an order of a peace officer to leave premises in which the person has neither a right of possession nor the expressed invitation to remain of a person having a right of possession;

    5.

    In a public or private place, the person challenges another to fight or engages in fighting other than in self-defense as defined by state statute;

    6.

    The person recklessly creates a hazardous condition for others by an act which has no legal justification or excuse;

    7.

    The offender intentionally exposes the offender's buttock or anus to another with reckless disregard for the offensive or insulting effect the act may have on that person; or

    8.

    With no legal justification, the offender engages in window peeping.

    B.

    As used in this section, "noise" is "unreasonably loud" if, considering the nature and purpose of the defendant's conduct and the circumstances known to the defendant, including the nature of the location and the time of day or night, the conduct involves a gross deviation from the standard of conduct that a reasonable person would follow in the same situation. "Noise" does not include speech that is constitutionally protected.

    C.

    Disorderly conduct is a violation of city law and is punishable by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00). Upon conviction, the court may impose community work service at the current rate determination schedule used by the court for any suspended portion of a fine over and above the minimum fine amount as specified.
