Disorderly Conduct — freedom of speech

Stephen Green appeals from a municipal forfeiture entered after a jury found him guilty of disorderly conduct on the grounds that Green disobeyed a police officer’s lawful order that he leave Walmart. Green’s main contention is that the First Amendment protected his right to disobey the officer’s order. This argument fails. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
