(a) Any person so held in contempt shall be entitled to credit for any punishment imposed against any sentence imposed or conviction of said substantive offense; and
(b) Any conviction or acquittal for any substantive offense under section 575.270 shall be a bar to subsequent punishment for contempt arising out of the same act;
