Legal Question in Traffic Law in South Carolina
habitual offender form vs-001
I was charged with habitual offender early in '06. I recently came across form VS-001 (habitual offender suspension reduction request). one of the stipulations of that form require that you not have any alcohol or drug related violations. I was curious if a charge of Disorderly Conduct would be considered an alcohol or drug related charge?

Re: habitual offender form vs-001
That's an interesting question. It depends. Reason why is the Disorderly Conduct laws vary. Some of them have a combination of ways that you can be charged. Meaning that some laws say you can be charged if your Disorderly or you are Drunk in Public. The trick would be to read the particular law that you were charged with. We have a state statute and then we also have city and county ordinances, and they are not always writen the same. Furthermore, if you were convicted on one of the charges that had both disorderly and drunk, but you could prove that your particlar charge had nothing to do with alcohol, such as a police report, then you might be able to get around it that way. So long story short, it all depends, but its possible. You can call if you have other questions, or email me at [email protected]
