Re: What can I expect to happen when i go to court for these charges?

Disorderly Conduct is a Class "C" misdemeanor, carrying up to 30 days in jail and/or a $1500 fine. Possession of paraphenalia is a Class "A" with up to a year in jail and/or a $2,500 fine. It sounds as though you might have a good motion to quash your arrest if you were only yelling out of your car window. If that is the case, then all charges might be dismissed. If you care to speak about your case: 630-243-0099
