Barry Arrested, Claims He Was Targeted
Barry Considers Suit Against D.C., Park Police

POSTED: 10:14 pm EST December 18, 2006
UPDATED: 10:05 am EST December 19, 2006

WASHINGTON -- Marion Barry said that he is talking to his lawyers and thinking about suing the D.C. government and the U.S. Park Police after he was stopped, arrested and then released this past Saturday.

Barry said that he was driving to a holiday party around 4:30 p.m. Saturday when U.S. Park Police officers, who said that he was driving too slowly, stopped him.

Barry said the officers asked him for his license and registration and then said that his license was suspended.

Barry told NBC4 the suspension was a clerical mistake, and he accused the U.S. Park police of racial profiling.

Park Police said Barry's license was in fact suspended, and that's why he was arrested.

Barry was cuffed and taken to a park police station for processing.

Barry said the incident took several hours to work out and he was humiliated and severely inconvenienced. He said he wasn't able to drive all weekend due to a mistake by the D.C. government.

So far there's been no response from the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles.
Well at least he left his crack at home this time.

Note to Mr Barry: It's illegal to drive on a suspended license. You drink, you drive, you lose.

LOL at the related stories below.

Because he is an elected official of our nations capitol who does coke, crack, weed, drinks and drives, and uses prostitutes. I don?t even think there is a Kennedy out there as bad as him.

Wow, what a list. I guess his dad doesn't work for the CIA and can't make this stuff disappear. I see he doesn't have any AWOL charges, though.

I am not sure what is sadder, the arrest history of Barry.

Or the fact that many people in DC would still vote for him.

I always thought having a crackhead mayor for a city full of windbags and corrupt officials was just somehow fitting.

I have no idea about Barry's voting record, public service, or anything else, but the qulaity of a person has little to do with their desirability as a politician (see: Jimmy Carter).
