CAMI STOUGH v. STATE OF FLORIDA (2016)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

CAMI STOUGH, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

Case No. 5D16-1001

Decided: December 09, 2016

Eric D. Dunlap and Steven K. Foster, Assistant General Counsels, of Orange County Sheriff's Office, Orlando, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and L. Charlene Matthews, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED

Cami Stough, a sergeant with the Orange County Sheriff's Office, appeals the trial court's order finding her in direct criminal contempt for refusing an order to bring detained juveniles into the courtroom. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.830. She argues, inter alia, that the contempt proceedings did not comport with the requirements of rule 3.830, and further, that the record does not support the trial court's finding of direct criminal contempt. We agree and commend the State for properly conceding error. Accordingly, we reverse the order on appeal and remand with instructions to vacate the order.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

PER CURIAM.

SAWAYA, BERGER and LAMBERT, JJ., concur.
