What to do if I got arrested for the first time ever for a disorderly conduct misdemeanor?
I have never seen the police report or signed anything with my charge. Should I be worried? I work a job where if I get in trouble I could lose my job. The DA has not even told me if he is going to charge me yet. I don’t even have a traffic ticket on y record.

You need to talk to a lawyer. At this point, try legal aid if you qualify and see if the attorney could do some digging or at the very least, ask for a copy of the police report. If you have not been charged, chances are the prosecution will not come after you but keep a low profile and have an attorney make one request for the report.
