It depends on the circumstances. Typically, however, in a case such as this all offenses would be charged at the same time. If there were going to be more criminal charges filed I think that you'd know by now.
As for a civil claim, that's a different matter. If, for example, some property was destroyed as a result of your disorderly conduct a lawsuit for damages could be brought against you. Again, without all of the facts it's hard to say.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
