If any person in proceedings before the Board disobeys or resists any lawful order or refuses to respond to a subpoena, or refuses to take the oath or affirmation as a witness or thereafter refuses to be examined, or is guilty of misconduct during a hearing or so near the place thereof as to obstruct the proceeding, the Board shall certify the facts to the district court of the county where the proceeding is being conducted. The court shall thereupon issue an order directing the person to appear before the court and show cause why he or she should not be punished as for contempt. The order and a copy of the certified statement shall be served on the person. Thereafter the court shall have jurisdiction of the matter. The same proceedings shall be had, the same penalties may be imposed and the person charged may purge himself or herself of the contempt in the same way, as in the case of a person who has committed a contempt in the trial of a civil action.
