BERGER, Judge.

*238 On June 6, 2017, William Oscar Baker ("Defendant") was held in criminal contempt and sentenced to thirty days in jail in Robeson County Superior Court. Defendant appeals, arguing the trial court erred in holding him in criminal contempt and entering a civil judgment against him for reimbursement of court appointed attorney fees. We affirm the part of the trial court's order for criminal contempt, but vacate the portion assessing attorney's fees and remand for a new hearing on that issue.
