Understanding Minnesota’s Disorderly Conduct Law

Minnesota law classifies disorderly conduct under Statute 609.72, subdivision 1, as a misdemeanor offense.

The law covers certain behavior that could alarm, anger, or disturb others or provoke a breach of the peace.

Examples include brawling, fighting, and certain forms of disruptive or abusive conduct.

The law applies to qualifying behavior in public and private places.

However, the specific conduct alleged in Westbrook’s booking entry was not identified.

The supplied record does not indicate whether the allegation involved fighting, loud behavior, or another type of disturbance.

Readers can review the complete law through the Minnesota Revisor of Statutes.

A misdemeanor conviction in Minnesota can carry up to 90 days in jail.

The law also allows a fine of up to $1,000, or both jail time and a fine.

These penalties are maximum limits, not a prediction of any sentence Westbrook might receive.

Additional information about misdemeanor penalties is available under Minnesota Statute 609.02.

The booking entry provides limited information about the circumstances surrounding Westbrook’s reported detention.

It does not identify any witnesses or explain how the alleged incident came to the attention of authorities.

No information was supplied about injuries, property damage, or possible additional allegations.

The entry also does not include a bond amount, scheduled hearing, or current release status.

It remains unclear whether prosecutors have filed a formal criminal complaint.

A jail booking does not establish that a person committed a crime.

Westbrook is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office maintains law enforcement records in Crookston, Minnesota.

However, the location of county jail services does not establish where the alleged offense occurred.

Residents seeking official records can contact the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Records Division.

The division maintains arrest records, criminal reports, citations, and related law enforcement documents.

Public court information may also be available through Minnesota Court Records Online.

Some pending criminal cases cannot be found through public searches using a person’s name.
