A person who is arrested for a violation of a personal protection order will be charged with contempt of court and brought before a judge within 24 hours whenever possible. The person will be advised of the contempt charge and another court date may be set within 72 hours. If the only charge you are facing is contempt, you will likely be released on bond pending the show cause hearing. Your victim will be alerted that you are being released at this time.
