Public Intoxication

Disorderly conduct while intoxicated, also known as public intoxication, is a commonly occurring criminal offense on Ohio college campus.

 

In Ohio, people commit the crime of disorderly conduct by while intoxicated, engaging in conduct that risks harm to themselves, others, or other’s property, or while intoxicated in a public place, engaging in conduct that is likely to offend, inconvenience, scare, or annoy others.

 

If you are convicted of disorderly conduct while intoxicated, you will face a minor misdemeanor. This could means a $150 fine. Under certain circumstances, such as someone continuing to this charge can be increased to a fourth degree misdemeanor. This could have a penalty of a maximum of 30 days in jail and a $250 fine.
