Q: How can this happen?? 26 yr old husband arrested on juvenile warrant

I'm going to put as much detail here as possible my 26 year old husband was arrested on a juvenile contempt warrant last night in St Clair county Michigan. We are so confused on what is going on and the police won't tell us anything except that the warrant is from 2012, but he has been in jail since and had multiple court dates for other reasons and he checks in monthly with friend of court so we are so confused on how this can even happen,

A: People are charged with contempt when they fail to comply with a court order. The court can give you info on exactly why he’s being charged with contempt.
