Businesswoman’s Disorderly Conduct Charge Dismissed

A businesswoman was recently laid over at the Columbus airport and had too many drinks. She fell and the airport police were sent to check on her. She refused treatment and according to the report she did not know where she was and was unable to care for herself. Due to her condition, the officer charged her with disorderly conduct. She was taken to jail and then was bonded out.

For this woman, this was a nightmare situation. She had never been charged with more than a traffic ticket and was arrested and taken to jail and was now charged with a criminal offense. This was not something she wanted on her background. While reviewing her options, she reached out to speak with attorney Ben Luftman. After speaking with attorney Luftman, the Columbus Criminal Defense team was hired to try and keep the disorderly conduct conviction off her record.

Attorneys with LHA represented our client in the case. After four court dates, we were able to negotiate the dismissal of the disorderly conduct case for our client’s agreement to pay court costs. The dismissal keeps the conviction of the businesswoman’s record. We will then file a motion to seal or expunge the record of the disorderly conduct case and when granted, it will be completely removed from her criminal background and she will once again have a clean slate.
