Syllabus

The trial court erred by classifying the contempt sanction as civil in nature when it had all the hallmarks of a criminal penalty. The court thus erred in imposing that sanction upon finding that appellant had violated the injunction following a civil contempt hearing. Judgment reversed and remanded.
