Syllabus

Contempt of court civil and criminal contempt direct and indirect contempt community control sanctions inherent authority R.C. 2705.05(A). The court erred as a matter of law when it sentenced the contemnor to community control sanctions for contempt. Although the sanctions identified in R.C. 2705.05(A) do not limit a court's inherent authority to punish contemptuous conduct, this inherent authority does not include the power to impose community control sanctions.
