Bulloch County, GA Public Conduct: Loitering Rules (2026)

Section 10-2 lists twenty-one specific acts that constitute disorderly conduct in the county, from violent behavior and fighting words to public drinking and unreasonably loud noise. ' The offense has two elements, so merely standing in a group doesn't violate it, the gathering must actually stop traffic flow, and the group must then refuse a lawful order to disperse. Because it sits inside the general disorderly-conduct section rather than a separate loitering article, the same section also covers related public-order conduct like jostling or crowding people in a public place (subsection 6), assembling for unlawful purposes (subsection 7), and consuming alcohol on public streets or sidewalks (subsections 20-21). Enforcement runs through county law enforcement, and a conviction is handled under the Code's general penalty provision. § 15-10-60 in Magistrate Court.
