Legal Question in Criminal Law in South Carolina

Can I be legally charged for public disorderly conduct for using my outside voice to address/reply to a person standing far away from me; wherein an outside voice was necessary due to distance and outside noise, etc. when the other person is doing same; but I was the only one cited and later arrested. And also, the person has been harassing and stalking me for 5 months; since Jan. 2010.

It all depends on where you were, who was present, what else was going on, etc. It just depends on everything. Think about it for a minute. There is a huge difference between yelling at someone next to a private funeral service and yelling at someone next to a football game.

Since I do not know all of the facts and I was not there and I cannot visualize the situation, tell me why you suppose the police thought you were being disorderly.

If you need an attorney you are welcome to call. There are some ways around these types of charges.
