On Aug. 31 a DC Superior Court judge set a hearing date for a suspect charged with contempt. 

Brittany Marshall, 26, is charged with contempt for allegedly violating a stay away order from  the White House. She is also charged with attempted threats to do bodily harm and unlawful entry onto public property.

The prosecution offered Marshall a plea deal that would reduce her charges to one count of unlawful entry and one count of threats to do bodily harm. Marshall rejected the plea offer. 

On Feb. 11, the defendant allegedly trespassed 15 feet into restricted White House territory on the 1600 block of E Street, NW. She received a stay away order from the White House zone, but allegedly returned to the area on Feb. 18, according to court documents.

Marshall also allegedly yelled at a community opportunity center employee on the 1300 block of Alabama Avenue, SE on Feb. 20.

Judge Michael Ryan scheduled a status hearing for Feb. 17.
