Don’t try to handle a resisting arrest or disorderly conduct charge alone. Below are some of the legal consequences for a conviction:

Mississippi Code Annotated § 97-35-7 deals with the crime of disorderly conduct.

The disorderly conduct law seeks to punish disobedience of a lawful command of a police officer. A person can be guilty of disorderly conduct if that person fails to comply with a police officer’s command which is given in order to avoid a breach of the peace.
The possible penalties for disorderly conduct are a fine of up to $500 or imprisonment in the county jail for up to six months, or both.

Often times, police officers will charge a person with disorderly conduct when the circumstances surrounding the incident actually do not constitute a crime. A qualified attorney can find the problems with an arrest and recognize the defenses available to a person wrongfully charged with a crime.
