A judge set a trial date for Marion Christopher Barry for allegedly threatening a bank teller and breaking a security camera.
At a hearing Friday in D.C. Superior Court, a judge set a trial date of May 20. Barry faces three charges stemming from the incident.
Prosecutors offered Barry, the son of former District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry, a plea deal. They said they would dismiss a simple assault charge if Barry pleads guilty to the misdemeanor charges of attempted threats and destruction of property.
Prosecutors said the plea deal is open until March 6.
Last month, NBCWashington.com reported that Barry allegedly cursed a PNC bank teller on 7th Street downtown after she refused to let him withdraw $20,000 from a bank account that was already overdrafted by $2,000.
According to court documents, Barry said he would "have somebody waiting for you when you get off work," according to a police report.
Barry then threw a trash can over the security glass, destroying a security camera valued at $1,000, documents said. The incident was captured on security cameras.
The younger Barry is running for his late father's Ward 8 D.C. Council seat. He has apologized for the bank incident and pledged to remain in the race.
