Spring Break Fun vs. A Night in Jail.
March means Spring Break! It is time to relax. But sometimes, the party gets out of hand.
"Disorderly Conduct" is a catch-all charge police use when someone is being loud, annoying, or refusing to leave an area. It is common at bars, beaches, and parties.
While it sounds minor, it is still a criminal record. It can show up on background checks forever.
If you or your college student gets arrested over Spring Break, don't just pay the fine and forget it. Paying the fine is pleading guilty. Call us instead. We can often keep these minor charges off a young person's permanent record.
