disorderly person

disorderly person.

1. A person guilty of disorderly conduct. [Cases: Disorderly Conduct

3. C.J.S. Disorderly Conduct § 7.]

2. A person who breaches the peace, order, decency, or safety of the public, as defined by statute.

“Ordinarily, a person who is guilty of disorderly conduct is a ‘disorderly person,’ but where statutes define ‘a disorderly person’ and distinguish acts which may constitute the offense of disorderly conduct, the distinction is to be preserved and the different provisions relative to the different offenses particularly followed.” 27 C.J.S. Disorderly Conduct § 1(1), at 509 (1959).
