IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED CAMI STOUGH, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D16-1001 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed December 9, 2016 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Jenifer M. Harris, Judge. 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. PER CURIAM. 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.
