1Opinion of the Court
TORRUELLA, Circuit Judge.
This appeal requires us to determine the meaning of the term “disorderly” as used in the Massachusetts Alcoholism Treatment and Rehabilitation Act (“Chapter 111B”), generally known as the Protective Custody Law, Mass.Gen.L. ch. 111B, § 1 et seq., and whether the district court appropriately charged the jury as to the standard for determining if the conduct of appellant John Veiga (“Vei-ga”), during the early morning hours of December 6, 1987, provided a basis for police officers reasonably to conclude that he was “incapacitated” within the meaning of that statute.
