Not sure where you are, but in NYS (where I am), criminal contempt in the first degree would be one of the following:
1) Not co-operating with being sworn and/or testifying in front of a grand jury as a witness
2) Violating an order of protection (either the B-order or the A-order; A-order is the full stay-away, B is a weakened version)--in the case of a B-order by committing one of the crimes prohibited within the order such as stalking, harassment, menacing, intimidation, or any other crime against the person named in the order
It's an E-level felony here (so the lowest level felony).
