The son of D.C. Council member Marion Barry (D-Ward 8) is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday, two months after pleading guilty to felony drug charges.

Marion Christopher Barry, 31, pleaded guilty in July to possession of PCP and marijuana in D.C. Superior Court.

As part of the plea deal, prosecutors said they would not file additional charges and would not seek a prison sentence longer than six months. Charging guidelines for Barry’s offenses are six months to three-and-a-half years in prison.

Barry was arrested May 28 after police found five sandwich bags containing marijuana, as well as a vial three-quarters full of a liquid later determined to be PCP, in his apartment in the 4300 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SW, according to charging documents.
