Patrick Britton-Harr has been ordered to appear in Baltimore on July 31 for a hearing in federal court that could lead to his jailing.

U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander ordered the hearing after federal prosecutors requested the owner and founder of Sarasota-based air service company AeroVanti be held in contempt a second time for allegedly violating court orders in a Medicare fraud case.

Prosecutors asked the judge for the hearing to force Britton-Harr to explain why he has not complied with discovery orders to disclose his finances after filing a status report detailing why he did not pay $575,000 as ordered in March.
