A DC Superior Court judge continued a Sept. 1 hearing so that a defendant could enter a plea.
Mark Anthony is charged with attempted stalking, unlawful entry and destruction of property less than $1,000 for allegedly breaking into a victim’s home in Northwest, DC and breaking a window on June 20.
Defense attorney Greg Barron asked for the case to be continued so that his client can be arraigned in another case and parties can continue discussing a plea deal for this one.
Anthony, 39, was released with GPS monitoring. However, on June 22, a contempt of court alert was issued and Anthony received a bench warrant for his arrest. He was held following a bench warrant return hearing that was held on July 16. Anthony is still being held in DC prison.
According to court documents, Anthony has shown up two times to the victim’s residence unannounced prior to the June 29 incident. He then allegedly violated his stay-away order by showing up to the victim’s window.
Judge Jonathan Pittman scheduled Anthony’s next status hearing for Sept. 11.
