HARRIS v. CHRONISTER (2018)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Roshane Sheman HARRIS, Appellant/Petitioner(s), v. Chad CHRONISTER, Sheriff of Hillsborough County, Florida, Appellee/Respondent(s).

CASE NO.: 2D18-4346

Decided: November 28, 2018

Because the circuit court erred in relying on the officer's testimony to establish that petitioner's actions were willful and in direct criminal contempt, the petition for writ of habeas corpus is granted. We quash the circuit court's October 26, 2018, judgment of direct criminal contempt. Our disposition is without prejudice to institute contempt proceedings under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.840.

BY ORDER OF THE COURT:

KELLY, SLEET, and LUCAS, JJ., Concur.
