Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie had a June 2 trial date set today at a brief hearing in a Miami courtroom.

McKinnie was arrested in February after allegedly spitting in the face of a bouncer at a nightclub, shoving a camera phone into his face, and slamming a heavy pole over his head.  He faces several charges, the most serious of which is aggravated battery, a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

McKinnie did not appear in court, and his lawyer and prosecutors said they have not reached a plea deal.

The Vikings have said they are taking a wait-and-see approach and will not discipline McKinnie, one of their highest-paid and most important players, until the legal case has reached a conclusion.  In 2005 the NFL fined McKinnie a game check for his role in the Vikings’ infamous boat party.
