Mountainside Municipal Charges
The Mountainside Municipal Court has jurisdiction over non-felony offenses committed in Mountainside, New Jersey.

You can imagine the toll a 6-month prison sentence can take a person's life.

Disorderly Conduct can easily occur when someone is having an "off-night", and a person can be charged with such conduct for anything from offensive language to creating a public annoyance or inconvenience. The downside is that a conviction of Disorderly Conduct can lead to penalties of up to 6 months in prison, and over $1,000 in fines.
