WASHINGTON (July 5) - Police say former Washington Mayor Marion Barry has been arrested and charged with stalking a woman.
The United States Park Police said Barry, a current D.C. Council member, was arrested Saturday in Washington after a woman flagged down an officer and complained Barry was stalking her. Barry was charged with misdemeanor stalking and released.
Barry's spokeswoman, Natalie Williams, said Sunday that the accusation was "baseless."
She says Barry plans to fight the charge and said the accuser is a 40-year-old woman Barry had helped financially.
Barry served four terms as mayor. In his third, he was videotaped in 1990 in a hotel room smoking crack cocaine in an FBI sting. He served six months in prison and in 1994 regained the mayor's office.

Skin color aside,DC is an embarrasment to the U.S. They have among the highest crime rate in the country because they reelected a mayor who they already knew had no regard for the law. I'd like to suggest we move our nations capitol to an area with a higher average IQ level,but then that would be a waste of time. Once our congress gets there,the IQ level would drop anyway.

Mustang70madman 12:48 PMJul 06 2009 Feeling stimulated? $787 Billion dollars to "save or create" 6 million jobs. Thats $13.2 Billion per job. WTF? There are only 302.2 million legal citizens in the USA. They could have given every Man, Woman and Child $2 Billion each and saved over $4 Million dollars. Even if they do "save or create" 6 million jobs, the unemployment rate will only improve to where it was when Ospender took office. Where's the progress? Where's the return on the investment?======And you know whats even scarier Mustang? Im hearing talk of a second stimulis. The first stimulis was a joke. Biden admitted they fuc*ed up. This democratic government is really scary with its spending. God help us.
