I received a ticket for disorderly conduct in Manhattan for picking up a garbage can (stupid, thought it was funny, guess not). I was not arrested just given a ticket that says “disorderly conduct”. I cannot read the numbers on the ticked it looks like 2#### (can’t read others). Can anyone tell me what It might mean or how I could find out? Nervous about the whole situation… have to go to court and could use some advise other then don’t pick up garbage cans.
Thank you

disorderly conduct NYS penal law 240.20 sub 1-7.

Go to the court on the day, and you'll be given a fine, or community service, or some similar wrist slap punishment.DONLON
I mean, we're getting killed for these people and they don't even appreciate it. They think it's a big joke.

In some jurisdictions they hide pots of gold under garbage cans. You have to lift them up to find the pot of gold.

You were picking up a garbage can to help a stray kitten get out of it and were cited for DO. Not buyin it.

Something tells me this is going to be a one-post wonder.
