Keeping DC's Reputation Intact
Many people know that former mayor Marion Barry of Washington, DC was arrested for smoking crack in the 1980s, went to jail, and then went on to get re-elected mayor, displacing Sharon Pratt Kelley in 1994. What many people don't know is that after Marion Barry left office, he was elected to the Washington, DC city council, where he remains today. In addition, he's continued to have various run-ins with the law, including being pulled over and detained by the police for allegedly driving with a suspended license this past Saturday. Here's a sampling of the 2005-2006 Marion Barry legal follies:
October 28, 2005: Marion Barry Pleads Guilty To Tax Charges
January 11, 2006: Marion Barry Fails Drug Test
March 9, 2006: Marion Barry Sentenced On Tax Charges
November 14, 2006: Barry Pleads Not Guilty To DUI
Gotta love DC.
