Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois
attempted disorderly conduct
I am 25 years old and got arrested for ''attempted disorderly conduct''. The officer read that I failed to appear in court reguarding this matter. I never received a court date nor anything about a report filed against me. I was taken into custody and asked several times who and what the incident was and the officers refused to tell me. They didnt give me a copy of the report and claimed they didnt know the information. When the officer who filed the report called, she informed the officer what the offense was and he refused to tell me. I was forced to post bail and taken from my home in front of my 2 young children, husband and neighbors. I was publically humiliated as well as clueless. No one had a date that I had ''supposedely'' missed either. I am so MAD, I need to know what to do as far as legal advice. Can they arrest me with no knowledge or document of an alleged court date? And, are they allowed to take me into custody without telling me exactly what the offense was? Please help!

Re: attempted disorderly conduct
The short answer to all of your questions is yes. However, I don't think there is such an offense as "attempt disorderly conduct." The question is "How can you attempt a conduct that would be disorderly?" Your conduct was what it was. How would the cop know your conduct would be disorderly unless you started the conduct and it fell under the legal definition of disorderly. Please call for a free consultation.
Re: attempted disorderly conduct
Unfortunately, if a valid warrant for your arrest exists, then the arresting authority is authorized to take you in to custody.
You need to retain an attorney to assist you with your legal matters. There are a number of constitutional motions that may be available in your case. Feel free to call my office.
