Such an order must be obeyed regardless of whether any additional warning or notice is given to the person. Any person who violates an order issued by a court under this subsection (e) shall be subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of not less than five days imprisonment but not more than six months imprisonment, plus a fine of not less than $100.00 and not more than $500.00, for each violation. In addition to or instead of the penalties prescribed in this subsection (e), any person who violates an order issued by a court under this subsection (e) may be required to perform up to 120 hours of community service pursuant to Section 1-4-120 of this Code.
