Seaside Disorderly Conduct Lawyer
Seaside Heights, New Jersey, sees a massive spike in alcohol and drug related crimes during the summer months. As perhaps the preeminent “Boardwalk Town” in the state, the vast increase in population as the weather warms increases the number of people in bars (open until 4:00am), on the beach and boardwalk, and a surge in police officers hired on a seasonal basis. Every summer, the town issues hundreds of DWI, Disorderly Conduct, and Drug-related tickets every week. The roads and highways surrounding Seaside Heights are frequented by patrol cars cruising for potential DWI stops and often Field Sobriety checkpoints are established at the town’s borders. Officers and security personnel patrol the boardwalk 24 hours a day looking for signs of fights, drug use, or alcohol-induced disorderly conduct.

Seaside Heights NJ Simple Assault Lawyer
Without question, the majority of Seaside Heights Disorderly Conduct tickets are issued at night on the Boardwalk outside of one of the town’s many bars and nightclubs. Disorderly Conduct is a common “catch-all” charge that may be issued to individuals engaged fighting, threatening, loud or tumultuous behavior, or creating a hazardous condition. The statute is purposefully vague because it allows police to issue summons for very generalized areas of conduct. Additionally, Disorderly Conduct charges often accompanied by related charges that include:
- Trespass
- Public Intoxication
- Lewdness
- Simple Assault
- Resisting Arrest
