21-3835. Same; violation of court orders, penalties. Violation of an order entered pursuant to K.S.A. 21-3834 may be punished in any of the following ways:

(a) In the manner provided by K.S.A. 21-3832 or 21-3833, when applicable.

(b) As a contempt of the court making the order. No finding of contempt shall be a bar to prosecution for a violation of K.S.A. 21-3832 or 21-3833, but:

(1) Any person held in contempt shall be entitled to have any punishment imposed for contempt to be credited against any sentence imposed upon conviction of a violation of K.S.A. 21-3832 or 21-3833; and

(2) any conviction or acquittal of a violation of K.S.A. 21-3832, 21-3833 or 21-3834 shall be a bar to subsequent punishment for contempt arising out of the same act.

(c) By revocation of any form of pretrial release of a criminal defendant or by the forfeiture of bail and the issuance of a bench warrant for the defendant's arrest or remanding the defendant into custody. After a hearing and upon a showing by clear and convincing evidence, the court, in its sound discretion, may order the revocation whether the violation was committed by the defendant personally or in any way caused or encouraged it to be committed.
