Former D.C. mayor charged with stalking
Police say former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry has been arrested and charged with stalking a woman.
The United States Park Police said Barry, a current Washington D.C. Council member, was arrested Saturday in Washington D.C. 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 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.
