v

THOMAS H. FERNENGEL,
Defendant
PROTECTION FROM ABUSE
IN RE: INDIRECT CRIMINAL CONTEMPT
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, January 26, 2001, Thomas Howard Fernengel,
having appeared in open court together with the Public Defender,
Arla M. Waller, Esquire, on a complaint alleging that the
defendant is in violation of our prior temporary PFA Order, and
the defendant having admitted the allegations of the petition,
we do find the petition to be supported beyond a reasonable
doubt.
Having so found, sentence of the court is that the
defendant pay any costs associated with the filing of this
complaint, and that he undergo imprisonment in the Cumberland
County Prison for a period of not less than one week nor. more
than six months. We give the defendant credit for seven days
previously served and we now place him on parole for the balance
of the unexpired term. We caution the defendant that he is
bound by the terms of this PFA Order and to leave the plaintiff
completely alone.
By the Court,
