Will i go to jail for drunk and disorderly behaviour?

Cutie Patootie. â„¢

you'll probably have to do like comm. service or like some hours.
or like a few weeks in jail.
but i don't think like drastically going to jail, unless a DUI.
good luck and best wishes! =]

No i have not been in that situation because I'm responsible. Also if you do go do jail then that's good for me because its one less idiot off the street that i might run into.

I haven't been in that situation but they don't send you to jail/prison for that. they may throw you in the tank overnight until you sober up, but your court date is just for a fine. at most they MAY give you community service but I doubt it. However, if you did anything else illegal while you were being drunk and disorderly, you may have to deal with that.

No, but I'm an attorney who has worked at the jail, and I've never seen anyone in there for such a minor reason. Most jails are overcrowded, and they are likely to give alternate sentences for things like that. They need the space for all the murderers, arsonists, drug dealers, and burglars.

With any luck, your paper work won't be filed and they'll dismiss it on the spot.

But yeah, if it's your first offense, you won't go to jail unless you act arrogant and stupid with the judge. it won't be a jury trial unless you make a stink.

All depends on priors, county laws, and what the judge thinks of you.

Well here in Canada you'd probably have been taken to jail to sleep it off and then be released in the morning. And that would be that.
I only know this because guys on my hubby's crew have a habit of doing this when they go work out of town and he's the one who gets the call to come pick them up.

In UK jails there is no room for you, you will just get a fine. PITY

Depends on what exactly you did and what your past record is.

If you were just loud and obnoxious, probably not.

you'll get fined or they might give u an option of community service or picking trash from the freeways. thats for being stupid and making a scene... just pay homie cuz ur gonna get lazy with the community service.

hmmmmmmmm

I doubt you will go to jail. Probably a fine and some community service....unless you did some serious damage while drunk.

Its basically a ticket, like a raffic ticket, you have to g to court so you can plead guilty or not (this is america, free trials for all). It is basically just a fine, or some community service. You will not go to prison or even have to serve time. Hope that helps.
