Tony Barr denied that he threatened to shoot Mayor Joe Ganim as Barr stood in the lobby of the Golden Hill Street courthouse after his case was called on Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2016.
BRIDGEPORT — Tony Barr can run for the office of mayor — he just can’t go there.
The former mayoral candidate, accused of threatening to shoot Mayor Joseph Ganim, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of second-degree breach of peace. He was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Earl Richards to a suspended six-month term with one year of conditional discharge.
The judge then ordered Barr to stay away from the mayor’s office.
Barr, who denies he threatened to shoot Ganim, said later that he holds no animosity for the man who beat him for the city’s top office, but then went on to refer to Ganim, who served federal prison time for corruption, as “the Devil.”
“The mayor was given the opportunity for redemption and forgot about the rest of the felons, the Tony Barrs,” Barr said. “He has disappointed everyone who ever had handcuffs on them.”
Ganim’s spokesman did not immediately return emails seeking comment.
Barr, 51, who served 20 years in prison for being an enforcer for a local drug gang and firing a machine gun at an undercover cop, was charged Feb. 4 with threatening and disorderly conduct after police said he angrily demanded to see the mayor, stating: “I want to talk to the (expletive) mayor now … I’m going to shoot the (expletive) mayor, I’m going to blow the mayor’s head off.”
Barr said he lost both his jobs because of the threatening case arrest and is now unemployed.
“Tony Barr is in a precarious position,” he said. “How is he going to pay his bills, how is he going to live? Is Tony Barr bitter at Joe Ganim, absolutely not.”
