I mean to hear that this man with such moral fiber and solid contributions to the District Of Columbia and it's present glory accused of such an activity as stalking, as the longtime leader of one of our nation's crown jewel cities (yea right) that is so representative of leadership as our capital, all mostly due to his two fine accomplishment filled terms as Mayor?
I mean, who in their right mind could forget this high water moment as mayor the first time around for Mr Berry?

This of coarse was Barry as he was arrested with a former girlfriend, Hazel "Rasheeda" Moore, in a sting operation at the Vista Hote by the FBI and D.C. Police for crack cocaine use and possession.The incident was widely broadcast on television, showing an enraged Barry excoriating Moore, who had become an FBI informant.
From his glorious Wikipedia page.....
Barry was charged with three felony counts of perjury, 10 counts of misdemeanor drug possession, and one misdemeanor count of conspiracy to possess cocaine;
however, in October 1990, he was convicted on only one charge: a single previous misdemeanor count of possessing cocaine which occurred during November 1989. He was acquitted on one possession charge and a mistrial was declared on the 12 remaining charges.[24]
As a result of his arrest and the ensuing trial, Barry decided not to seek reelection as mayor which of course shocked everyone....
Which actually led to his re election as mayor after serving time in a FEDERAL Prison again in 1994 and remaining a stain on the political scene of that city until.....well......this morning I guess as a current, I said CURRENT city council man..

I can only say........"I'm Shocked"
Former D.C. Mayor Barry charged with stalking: "WASHINGTON (AP) - 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 that Barry was stalking her.
Barry was charged with misdemeanor stalking and released.
A message left seeking comment from a spokeswoman for Barry wasn't immediately returned early Sunday.
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."
