A Honduran government official who was forced to quit as foreign minister after a drunken brawl with police is facing new charges of resisting arrest in the United States.

Milton Jimenez, 50, was arrested June 13 in Miami when police say he refused to follow instructions after the car in which he was riding was stopped for a traffic violation. The charge of resisting arrest without violence is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.

At a brief court hearing Wednesday, Miami-Dade County prosecutor Carlos Trujillo offered a deal in which Jimenez would not go to trial but would have to take an anger management course and donate $50 to charity.

Jimenez was not in court. His lawyer, Jacqueline Woodward, said she would "convey the offer to my client."

A trial date of Aug. 5 was canceled. If Jimenez does not take the prosecutor's offer, a trial would likely be rescheduled within six weeks.

Jimenez was forced in January to resign as Honduran foreign minister after a video posted on the Internet showed him throwing punches at police following a traffic stop in that country. Jimenez admitted later he was intoxicated but "hadn't reached a level of alcoholic mindlessness."

Jimenez was identified in the U.S. court as a counselor to Honduras' president.
