Singer Pleads Guilty to Disorderly Conduct in Las Vegas
This week Motley Crue vocalist Vince Neil took a guilty plea to the Nevada crime of disorderly conduct in Las Vegas Justice Court. The original charge he faced was battery domestic violence. The judge ordered that he pay a $1,000 fine.
The Nevada crime of disorderly conduct is extremely broad and is often referred to as a "catch-all" offense. It can comprise any type of disruptive behavior, usually in a public space. Examples include: acting too rowdy in a bar, challenging someone to a fight, or using profane language in addressing someone else.
The Nevada crime of disorderly conduct is a misdemeanor. The punishment includes up to six months in jail and/or up to $1,000 in fines. A first-time offense can often be dismissed if the defendant agrees to pay a fine, perhaps attend an impulse control counseling class, and to stay out of trouble while the case is open. Many more serious charges can sometimes be pleaded down to a disorderly conduct charge as part of a plea bargain, as in Vince Neil's case.
