In Schuylkill County Court May 29, two people admitted they violated protection from abuse orders.
Michael D. Hannock, 36, of Barnesville, pleaded guilty to two counts of indirect criminal contempt, which is contempt committed outside the courtroom, for two separate violations of the order against him.
Senior Judge D. Michael Stine accepted Hannock's plea and sentenced him to serve 14 days in prison and pay costs and a $300 fine.
State police at Frackville charged Hannock with violating the order by having contact with the protected person on April 2, when he left the person a voicemail, and on April 9, when he placed a telephone call to the person.
"No contact means no contact," Stine warned Hannock.
Rhonda G. Heidlebaugh, 30, of Ashland, also pleaded guilty to indirect criminal contempt and was sentenced by Stine to serve 19 days in prison with immediate release and pay costs and a $300 fine.
Butler Township police had charged Heidlebaugh with violating the order by approaching the protected person in her vehicle and yelling at her on May 10 in the township.
In a third case, prosecutors withdrew an indirect criminal contempt charge against Christopher M. Zweizig, 24, of Schuylkill Haven, at the request of the alleged victim.

A Tamaqua man who admitted assaulting a police officer in Berks County also will spend additional time on probation in Schuylkill County as a result, a judge ruled Friday.
Hubert W. Budd, 19, must serve another year on probation after completing his Berks County sentence, Judge Charles M. Miller ruled after revoking Budd's original probation because of the assault.
"You've got to get it in gear now," Miller told Budd, who already is serving time in Berks County Prison for his assault.
Budd originally pleaded guilty on July 3, 2012, to possession of drug paraphernalia. Miller accepted his plea and sentenced Budd to spend 12 months on probation, pay costs, $100 to the Substance Abuse Education Fund and $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account, and undergo drug and alcohol and mental health/mental retardation evaluations.
Tamaqua police had charged Budd with possessing drug paraphernalia on Dec. 17, 2011, in the borough.
However, Budd pleaded guilty on May 28 in Berks County Court to aggravated assault, with prosecutors withdrawing charges of fleeing or eluding police, recklessly endangering another person and resisting arrest.
Berks County Judge Stephen B. Lieberman accepted the plea and sentenced Budd to serve six to 23 months in prison and an additional two years of probation, pay costs and a $50 CJEA payment, and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities. Budd's new sentence will not begin until his Berks County probation ends.
Bern Township police charged Budd with assaulting one of their officers on Feb. 21 in the township.
In another Friday case, President Judge William E. Baldwin revoked the probation of Matthew R. Taylor, 20, of Orwigsburg, and sentenced him to time served to 12 months in prison with immediate parole only to the Teen Challenge supervisory program.
"You've got to do some real serious thinking about what kind of a future you want," Baldwin told Taylor.
Taylor pleaded guilty on May 23, 2012, to defiant trespass. Baldwin accepted his plea and sentenced him to serve 12 months on probation and pay costs and a $50 CJEA payment.
State police at Schuylkill Haven had charged Taylor with trespassing on Aug. 29, 2011.
Taylor admitted he has a prescription drug problem but said he has tried to change his life.
Also on Friday, Baldwin revoked the parole of Brandie Haluska, 33, of Pottsville; and returned her to prison.
Baldwin ruled Haluska must stay in prison until at least July 2, can be paroled only to a rehabilitation program and could remain in prison until Feb. 14, 2014.
Haluska admitted violating her parole by being convicted of two other offenses and failing a drug test.
Haluska originally pleaded guilty on Aug. 17, 2012, to retail theft. Baldwin sentenced her on Sept. 27 to spend one to 12 months in prison and pay costs, a $50 CJEA payment and $5 restitution.
Saint Clair police charged Haluska with committing the theft on May 16, 2011, in the borough.
All defendants who were sentenced must pay costs as a part of their sentences.
