Disorderly conduct – You can be charged with disorderly conduct if the police think you intended to cause alarm to the public or if you recklessly create a risk of “alarm or inconvenience, engage in fighting behavior, make an unreasonable noise, use obscene language or make an obscene gesture, or create hazardous conditions.
Resisting arrest – Resisting arrest, regardless of whether or not you think you committed a crime, is going to lead to (at minimum) a second-degree misdemeanor charge.
Giving a false report to police – You can face a second-degree misdemeanor charge if you knowingly give false information to a police officer with the intention to implicate another person of the crime that has been committed. You will face a third-degree felony if you give police information about a crime that did not actually occur.
Giving false identification – This can be applied if you are stopped or contacted by law enforcement and give them false information about your identity. You can face a third-degree misdemeanor in these instances.
Impersonating a public servant – This charge can be applied as a second-degree misdemeanor if you impersonate anyone that holds a public office, including a police officer, with the intention of coercing someone to submit to that person’s authority.
Terroristic threats – These charges can be applied to anyone who makes a false threat of actual or potential mass destruction. Making a threat about the existence of a weapon of mass destruction, or the placement of such, can lead to a first-degree misdemeanor charge. If the threat causes a business, transportation system, or assembly to be disrupted, you can be charged with a third-degree felony.
