McRae PER CURIAM In these consolidated cases, defendant challenges his conviction for second-degree criminal mischief in one case and the court’s finding of contempt on Count 1 in the other case. We reject without discussion defendant’s challenge to his second-degree criminal mischief conviction. With respect to Count 1 in the contempt case, the state concedes that the record does not support the court’s finding of contempt on that charge. We agree with and accept the state’s concession that the trial court erred in finding defendant in contempt on Count 1. In Case No. 15CR57801, finding of contempt on Count 1 reversed; otherwise affirmed. In Case No. 15CR57798, affirmed.
