person refusing to obey the subpoena to appear at an | 9 | | investigation or
hearing, or to there produce documentary | 10 | | evidence, if so ordered, or to
give evidence relative to the | 11 | | subject matter of that investigation or
hearing. Any failure to | 12 | | obey such order of the circuit court may be
