A Mahanoy City man must pay costs and fines after being found guilty Wednesday in Schuylkill County Court of violating a protection from abuse order twice in two days.
Bryan P. Harlor, 35, is guilty of two charges of indirect criminal contempt, which is contempt committed outside the courtroom, Senior Judge D. Michael Stine ruled.
Stine sentenced Harlor to pay costs and $600 in fines.
Mahanoy City police filed both charges against Harlor, alleging he violated the order in the borough on July 8 and again on July 9.
Judge John E. Domalakes had filed the order against Harlor on March 20.
Also on Wednesday, Stine found William R. Putt, 31, of Schuylkill Haven, not guilty of indirect criminal contempt.
Pottsville police had charged Putt with violating a PFA order on May 3 in the city.
Judge Charles M. Miller had entered the order against Putt on May 30, 2012.
In another Wednesday case, Judge Cyrus Palmer Dolbin revoked the probation of Christopher S. Gerlek, 39, of Tamaqua, and placed him on probation for another 12 months.
Gerlek initially pleaded guilty on Dec. 27, 2000, to a charge of corruption of minors, which authorities had alleged he committed on July 29, 2000.
On Tuesday, President Judge William E. Baldwin sentenced Stephanie A. Stegmeier, 31, of Leesport, to spend 24 months in the intermediate punishment program, pay costs, a $1,500 fine and $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account, and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities.
The intermediate punishment program combines criminal sanctions with treatment and rehabilitation.
Stegmeier pleaded guilty May 24 to filing a false, fraudulent or incomplete insurance claim, with prosecutors withdrawing charges of insurance fraud, attempted theft and conspiracy.
The state attorney general's office had charged Stegmeier with filing the improper claim on July 25, 2011.
