Is it possible for a judge to hold someone in contempt for not being able to pay a fine that was imposed during their sentencing hearing?

Well the big boss came in and the Forklift Operator told him that his boss instructed him to wait, and nope, the CEO ordered him to start moving it NOW! (He was furious, understandably, due to OSHA violations.) He refused, then the CEO threatened to fire him, other employees told him the Boss is on the other side, he’s evaluating the… it didn’t matter, he ordered him NOW or you’re fired! So he proceeded, that was when all the stuff came collapsing down.
Here’s some examples:
He was in critical condition and was flown to a Level 4 Hospital. His wife phoned me because she was totally distraught! She was bedridden (due to a bad fall, she was returned home with the Hospital bed and had Nurses come twice a day, her spine had been “screwed together” and a couple of pins) and wasn’t able to meet up with her husband at Level 4 Hospital way over the other side of the bay. I then met up with her, she was truly believing her husband was killed. I assured her I will personally phone to get more information.
Why did my ex replace me so fast?
That did it, and then on top of everything, I then stated WHY I had to stop somewhere before I could arrive here, was because he had a court-ordered warrant for his arrest for a speeding ticket on his motorcycle (then he suddenly became very quiet and it was like “oops, caught, hand in cookie jar”) that he never told me about… (he tried to interrupt which I told him to shut up, I wasn’t done talking yet) and the Judge had nullified the ticket, the warrant, and you have zero points. And if you think you’re doing so great and don’t need Rehab services, well let me tell you one thing! I am not going to help you potty or clean you up after that either! As far as I am concerned, you owe everyone an apology, and here’s your official court papers (I threw it on his chest) that shows the Judge had rendered everything null and void.
Yes, they can and will. Unless something extreme happened (such as you wound up in hospital with major surgery, plus rehab, etc - or in one case, my congregation member wound up being wedged between the wall and all the contents on the top shelf that toppled over him which he was now disabled waist down and had to have pins all over his body), all one would need to do is provide the court “why the delay”. The Judge can make an “exceptions ruling”.
As for the Judge, the accident citation was “postponed” - it could not be eliminated because he was at fault, however, instead of a warrant for his arrest, he was permitted to pay the fine at a later date due to nature of circumstances. He paid the fine as a whole, and the court refunded him $150, half of the fine amount, because the Judge reduced the amount. Interestingly enough, there were no points placed in because of “statue of limitations” expired.

She had her oldest son to dial the lawyer right there in front of me, and to my surprised he answered the phone. She was becoming “semi-sedated” so I talked on behalf of her, and he knew who xxxx was, and then he said “Can you pick up the receiver so I can talk to you privately?” So I picked up the kitchen wall phone and hung up the one on her chest (she had fallen asleep). I told the kids to go to bed and I will lock myself on my way out. (They have 2 big dogs there.) The Lawyer said “asked how she got the number and I told him the truth upfront, he was my old long time employee from years ago. And he was there making the report and handed me this card.”
The Lawyer showed up, while he discussed what he can do, and he only earns a percentage when they win, and if it went to court, it’s the usual 33% however, he was going to try to force the company to be court ordered to pay for his expenses and court costs. While he was talking with her, the caller ID showed the Company Name, I summoned the lawyer to “Come here” pointing at the Company name, he immediately went to grab the phone by the kitchen and it was a simple message, that he was terminated and no longer with the company as of yesterday at 4 PM. They hung up without even verifying who answered the phone! Thankfully the Lawyer had the recorder (small tape cassette) and the line was recorded and he took out a small digital camera and took the photo of the Caller ID.
Next morning, I went to that courthouse, and requested the Judge’s secretary instead of the clerk; because I had all documents on me. When I came to the Secretary’s Office, I told her, provided her the originals which she made copies of, and the Highway Patrol and First City Police Officer case numbers, and then the Court Warrant, the Officers case number.

The next day, the Director felt he could be released, as he wanted “out of the program”, he was being uncooperative. I said “maybe once he finds out he cannot get into my car the way he is, he might cooperate, in fact, I do have to make a stop on my way up. So I will see both of you tomorrow.”
By the time the Police Officers arrived to my house with a warrant for his arrest. I told them what happened, and where he was. It turned out 2 days before he was supposed to go to the Court Hearing, when that accident occurred. They took the report information and stated “We are going to report this and you will need to contact this number here (xxx-xxx-xxxx) and inform the clerk the Highway Patrol and City Police Report of accident and OUR case that indicated the update status of him. And that we will verify.”
And he did get an updated report from the Officers who were ordered to issue the warrant for his arrest, he nullified it. He told me there will be no points, no fines to pay, no nothing. Because he just rendered it null and void. Then handed me the paperwork and dismissed me and I thanked him.
A) My husband was severely injured in a motorcycle accident due to a Semi-Truck in a location that had posted signs ‘No Trucks”. He wound up with a cast on each leg and each arm. He was listed as “questionable intentions”, per some of the witnesses, they all reported that the motorcyclist was going 10–15 mph over the posted speed limit. But the CSI and Highway Patrol stated it was not possible, and it aligned to his story. The truck was 100% at fault.
Their Foreman was now stuck to the wall (he had no where to go and braced himself against the wall), from what I understood, they had 8 boxes of machinery that pinned him there. They were able to move 3 of the boxes until another Shift Supervisor told them “We wait for the Fire Department”. When the Fire Department came, they had the fork lift operator to do this, do that, so they could put him on the backboard. The Fire Lieutenant called for the Police, the CEO was arrested for “endangerment of a human being” with more charges pending and the OSHA was also alerted.
As I headed to get into my truck, he came running and slipped me a business card and said “Give this card to them please and you didn’t get it from me.” I said “Okay”, placed it on top of what he had given me before that; and drove off to meet him at the Level 4 Hospital.

All in all, over the period of trying months, her husband came home, and she was now able to move around with a little assistance, just able to walk and get up and down on the toilet, could take a shower on the shower seat. Her husband was in rehab, he speedily recovered very well. He spoke with his wife often, and I took his kids over to visit once a week.
She told me to wait there at the chair and she would be right back, she handed the Judge who was in the chambers. A few moments, she told me to come follow her, and I was greeted by the Judge and instructed to be seated. He indicated he was going to waive the speeding ticket, after he had checked and verified that he was indeed injured and was indeed in hospital in Semi-ICU and had surgery procedure and put back into Semi-ICU and was currently in rehab.
After I got the information from the Fire Department for specifics, they told me. I knew where her husband worked, and since I then had to go to that Level 4 hospital, I swung by the workplace and OSHA was already there, they had RED-TAPED the entire warehouse! Of all things the guy working for OSHA was my old former employee that worked for me years ago, he recognized me. I explained to him who I was and why I stopped by, he just told me “He’s lucky to be alive, and where he was located at. When I asked if they were going to press charges?” He replied with “Absolutely! The CEO had no authorization to order or threaten an employee. Just because he’s the President/Owner of the Company doesn’t give him the right. As for the employee who obeyed the CEO’s orders will not be charged. And oh, he quit his job, he was so emotionally unstable, the medics had to take him to the nearby hospital to sedate him.” I thanked him for the information, he also handed me his business card with his report number and for me to hand it to his wife, and the other one to him whenever he was well.

Apparently the children came home, and we could hear the Police officer explaining that daddy got hurt at work, and mommy needs you to dial this Hospital number and I notice you have a speaker phone, to put the phone here and put the speaker phone on so they can talk. Daddy was in surgery right now. The Nurse was trying to relay the message ‘HAVE MOMMY CALL ME! HAVE MOMMY CALL ME!” Until the Dispatcher relayed to the Officer to have them dial the number, the Nurse was waiting.
Finally Mommy was on the line, you could tell she was very upset, very tearful, and the Nurse did an excellent job in calming her down. The Nurse then asked her multiple times if I could stand on behalf of her in making the decisions while he was there, she assured him it might be a few days before he phones home, but she assured her multiple times. HE WILL MAKE IT!
Once I arrived, put on my Minister’s Badge, and entered in → he was in emergency surgery, in fact, the Hospital was having difficulties in reaching his wife, I explained why, she’s bedridden and that is why I am here. They told me they had to send a Police Officer over to her house so they could get direct contact with her. I said “oh no! That’s the worst thing they could have done, because she truly believes her husband died. With the cops there, she’s going to freak out.”
The Lawyer then called the Courthouse, and relayed the message over to the Chief Judge’s clerk (apparently he’s got everyone on his speed dial) and the clerk seemed to recognize him because she called him by his first name. He gave the information and told her to have Chief to call him, because his client was in Level 4 hospital. The Clerk over the phone dismissed the Deputies and she would take care of it.
I had to phone my parents to pick up my son from school or home, if he wasn’t at school. To take him home with them because I had no idea how long it would be before I got out of the hospital, it could be a long one. I then explained to my dad what happened, and he told me to stay put, and made a comment “they should hire a real good lawyer and sue them!”
For another 5 hours, finally he was out of surgery (he was in surgery for almost 6 hours), it was 100% success, he was now in recovery, heavily sedated. The Surgeon told me, if he had been there for another 30 minutes, he wouldn’t have made it! Told me what he did and what he done, and another Surgeon had to repair a couple of organs (tear, internal bleeding). He would be moved to the CCU for observation for 2 days, then move down to ICU for awhile, then to a Semi-ICU for a short time before moving to a regular room. The Surgeon then suggested it would be a good idea if I was with her, that was until I told him “She’s bedridden, due to surgery and medical”. He then acquired her landline number and I gave him the best times to call, because I knew when the Nurses were there and when the kids would be home. He gave me his personal mobile phone number to give to her.

Immediately the charge Nurse called the Police, and the problem was, the Police Officers were already there and trying to calm her down. I had to tell the Police Officers that she’s heavily medicated, which would distort her line of thinking. I glanced up to the clock and said “2 of their children should be home, once they get home - call the number that the Nurse gives you, so she can speak with the Hospital personnel. “ The nurse took over the phone and gave them the number for one of the children to dial in. (They were middle school students, one was in 8th and the other in 6th.)
CEO/Owner was cited, the Company is still in business today (operated by their grandson), they were red-flagged by OSHA, fined by OSHA and had to cough over a nice stack of dough to them, having to pay all lawyer costs, court costs, and 5 years’ worth of salary plus vacation and bonuses (since he was indeed terminated and he did not want to go back to work for them anymore) as compensation. He was placed on workman’s comprehension, and the Company and their Insurance were required to cover all medical expenses.
There, all 4 of us were standing there while the PT put him back into position, the Nurse picked up all the paperwork (because there were no way for him to pick it up, his arms were straight out, locked in). His legs were straight out, locked in too. All the Doctor said was “did you have enough?” He just whimpered, and I then chimed in ‘YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU’RE TOLD, YOU WILL BE RELEASED WHEN THE DOCTOR SAYS YOU ARE RELEASED. YOU WILL PARTICIPATE IN WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED! NO MORE BEING A SPOILED 3 YEAR OLD BRAT! OTHERWISE, THEY WILL THROW YOU OUT IN THE STREETS AND YOU WILL BE LEFT THERE!”

Once she signed the documents, I then told her upfront, if she could remember the phone call? When I summoned him over to answer it? She said yes, and it was probably a Sales Call. I then said “NO MA’AM, THAT WAS HIS WORK, THEY FIRED HIM → BUT DO NOT PANIC! EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL.” And Immediately the Lawyer said “I am going to call Mr. xxxxx of the OSHA and give them that report immediately once I depart. It’s a direct violation. So that’s more charges on the Company.”
I then began to finger everyone to leave and I followed them out until he was screaming WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! (We were out in the hallway, I had my hand up - to wait a few minutes before returning back into the room) Then the Nurse from the Nurse Station (they have video camera in all rooms) came running up and said “he’s trying to get out of the bed and he’s going to hurt himself”. The director placed finger on lips, and we quietly walked in, observing him, trust me, he was trying so hard to get out of bed and literally got himself stuck. The Doctor (he was aware of the situation) stood behind me and watched. Then tapped on the PT’s shoulders to get him back in bed.
I was not aware of a speeding ticket (which he gotten earlier before this incident), he was court ordered to appear in court, and he didn’t show up (well, he was in hospital and they had to re-break a couple of his bones so it could be set and heal properly); he was kept in the “Semi-ICU” unit where he was completely immobilized.

It was no more than 4 minutes after that phone call when the Sheriff’s came to the door knocking. There was a FTA (Failure to Appear) warrant out on her husband, apparently he had a fender bender and it was his fault, and he got cited for it. The Lawyer and I had the front door closed, the Lawyer told them both to hand him the warrant and he will take care of it, because he was in CCU in Level 4 hospital. If they had truly paid attention to the news, it was on television, the other Deputy said “Oh, I thought that name rang a bell.”
He stayed for another 2 and half months and behaved himself.
When I got to the Rehab, the Director was very angry and frustrated. I told her let me talk to him, because maybe some common sense would get to his head. For example, with 2 casts in arms and set in place and 2 leg casts, how the hey is he going to go to the bathroom? And so on. So when I came into the room, he was arguing with the PT (Physical Therapist) when I pushed the PT aside, I rebuked him like he was a 2 year old child! In fact, if he was going to behave like this, I was NOT going to take him home, he could find a way to get home by himself!

He was waking up, and I stood there holding his hand, and he saw me, smiled, and said “Pastor pray” and dozed off. I prayed for him, and then I left the hospital. Swung over to pick up my son and then swung over to their house and gave them all the updates. His wife was doing better emotionally, and she was so relieved to know her husband didn’t die, and he will survive. She then asked me “Pastor Southie (my nickname that everyone often called me), is it wrong for me to get a lawyer?” I smiled and said “No it is not.” And I handed her the lawyer that I just said “my old former long time employee gave me this card, his name is xxxx and just let that lawyer know. And this card here is the OSHA, with the report number.”
I mean this guy was already taking care of everything already before she even agreed and signed the paperwork. In fact, he was so nice that he suggested that she hold the paperwork and to allow me to go over it, but no, she wanted to sign him up. She indicated that before they were married, she was a legal aid and legal secretary for the (late) lawyer. (REMEMBER THIS FOLKS.)
I waited outside, the Nurse was a little late (due to accident), talked with me and heard over the grapevine about her husband almost killed? By this time it hit the news, and I said, yeah A-L-M-O-S-T killed, I alerted her that the Lawyer was going to be here, so go do your usual stuff.

A congregation member who works in the warehouse, he was the Company’s chief foreman. Well, they were moving the old stock off the top shelf, as they were to be shipped back to the Manufacturer. The problem here was you are not supposed to load 750 pounds each machinery up there (a previous foreman who had retired a few weeks earlier, night shift, ordered them to be moved up there), which had 50 of them (which also exceeds the weight limit as well). The problem here was this, the steel shelf was “buckling” due to the weight. He had instructed the guy on the forklift to “wait” until he went to the other side to evaluate the situation.
I gave him the address and told him I will meet him at 10 in the morning. Then I locked the door and went home. Before I left the house to meet with the Lawyer, I phoned the Level 4 Hospital for a status update, and he was doing very well and they expected him to gradually improve. I thanked them and left to go to his home.
He then said if I would be so kind to meet up with them around what? 10 in the morning? He would meet me there in person. I assured him the Nurse will also be there, as she comes in around 9 am and then leaves about 11 AM after making her lunch and cleaning her up, she goes through therapy, and then takes her meds and typically falls asleep until the next Nurse that comes around 4 to 5 PM. Their 2 middle school kids arrives home around 3:30 - 3:40 PM by bus, and they walk a block home.
