(3) Any person who has been ordered to attend a day reporting system by the appropriate judge and who fails to abide by the order and fails to report pursuant to the court order shall be considered in violation of the suspended sentence, and shall be subject to having the suspended sentence revoked by the court upon application to the court by the probation officer. Further, nothing in this section shall interfere with or prevent the exercise by any court of Alabama of its power to punish for contempt.
