  • Using profane language or gestures in a public area
  • Creating a lot of noise or a terrible smell in a public place or near someone else’s home
  • Displaying or shooting a gun in a public place — you don’t have to actually hit anything
  • Peeping into someone’s home or a private area, such as a public restroom or shower stall
  • Verbally abusing or threatening someone, which can also lead to an assault charge
  • Fighting in public
