A:
Disorderly conduct is a frustrating charge in my experience as a criminal defense attorney because it many times gets charged when there isn't much more than an argument. In your case, the State is alleging aggravated facts because it sounds like it is being charged as a felony. How it is alleged will give you an idea of what you are potentially facing. Without knowing more, it is hard to advise what you can do against charges.
I highly recommend consulting a few criminal attorneys and hiring someone you are comfortable with. Many firms, including mine offer free consultations. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to represent you.
