Ward 8 Councilmember and former mayor Marion Barry was arrested Saturday night by a U.S. Park Police officer and charged with misdemeanor stalking.
According to Park Police spokesperson Sgt. David Schlosser, the incident leading to the arrest took place at around 8:45 p.m. An officer on patrol in Anacostia Park noticed a pair of cars in close proximity; the driver of one of the cars attempted to get the officer’s attention, and the officer subsequently pulled both cars over near the intersection of Anacostia Drive and Good Hope Road SE. The officer spoke first to the driver who had made the summons, an unidentified woman, and “she indicated there was some sort of discussion, dispute, angst,” Schlosser says.
The officer then spoke to the driver of the second car, Barry. “Apparently,” Schlosser says, “because of that conversation, [the officer] found sufficient cause [for Barry] to be placed under arrest.” Schlosser did not know if any other persons were in the vehicles, but said that Barry was the sole person charged in connection with the incident.
The officer, Schlosser says, is a New York native and had no idea who Barry was prior to making the arrest.
Park Police detectives consulted with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and a misdemeanor charge of stalking has been entered against Barry, who was given “citation release” on his personal recognizance. When LL left Park Police headquarters at about 3:30 a.m., Barry was on his way to D.C. central lockup to be processed for release. His case will be adjudicated in D.C. Superior Court.
Stalking, in the D.C. criminal code, is defined as when a person “on more than one occasion engages in conduct with the intent to cause emotional distress to another person or places another person in reasonable fear of death or bodily injury by willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly following or harassing that person, or who, without a legal purpose, willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follows or harasses another person.”
Schlosser says Barry was “very cooperative” during his booking.

Never has been able to get out of his own way.
He is still and elected official in DC and That shows you what kind of people voted for him and Obama. CRIMINALS!
What a loser . what happened to Oswald when you really need him.
A perfect example of why Obama got elected. 1st class criminal but he gives the people what they want. That is what politics are all about. Don't elect the most qualified, instead elect the one that is going to redistribute the wealth and give you what you want. How long can this last?
4:10
what , didnt you know , dc is all criminals, and you did not vote for the most of them.
one of the great Democrat leaders !
DC residents get what they deserve!
Good thing it was the Park Police that busted him because DC police would look the other way. I wonder how many times he has been let off the hook because Metropolitan Police let him go.
Hey Joe, for what it's worth this criminal is no stranger to the Maryland courts system either. Check it out.

Marion Shepilov Barry, Jr. (born March 6, 1936) is an American Democratic politician who served as the second elected mayor of Washington, D.C. from 1979 to 1991, and again as the fourth mayor from 1995 to 1999. He was the target of a high-profile 1990 arrest on drug charges, which precluded him from seeking reelection that year. After he was convicted of the charges, Barry served six months in a federal prison, but was elected to the D.C. city council in 1992 and ultimately returned to the mayoralty in 1994, serving from 1995 to 1999. Today, Barry again serves on the city council, representing Ward 8, which comprises Anacostia, Congress Heights, Washington Highlands, and other neighborhoods.
What a loser . what happened to Oswald when you really need him
