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.

His reelection and obama's election is proof positive; with a particular group of people, race is the determining factor regardless of the issue at hand.

After he was shown on film smoking crack and then was re-elected does this come as a shock to anyone?

I'm sure that Obama will find him a job to do. He seems to "take in the political strays" and give them a job.
