1Opinion of the Court
FERREN, Associate Judge:
Appellant — on trial for violating the Bail Reform Act (BRA), D.C.Code § 23-1327 (1989) — was found guilty of criminal contempt for arriving in court one hour and fifty minutes late for the second day of this trial.1 Appellant contends there was insufficient evidence to support the court’s finding that he willfully disregarded his duty to appear on time. Because the basis for the trial court’s ruling is not clear enough for our review, we remand the record for more specific findings of fact and conclusions of law based on the hearing already completed.2
