WASHINGTON (AP) - July 5, 2009 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.
