WASHINGTON -- Marion Barry said that he is talking to his lawyers and thinking about suing the D.C. government and the U.S. Park Police after he was stopped, arrested and then released this past Saturday.
Barry said that he was driving to a holiday party around 4:30 p.m. Saturday when U.S. Park Police officers, who said that he was driving too slowly, stopped him.
Barry said the officers asked him for his license and registration and then said that his license was suspended.
Barry told NBC4 the suspension was a clerical mistake, and he accused the U.S. Park police of racial profiling.
Park Police said Barry's license was in fact suspended, and that's why he was arrested.
Barry was cuffed and taken to a park police station for processing.
Barry said the incident took several hours to work out and he was humiliated and severely inconvenienced. He said he wasn't able to drive all weekend due to a mistake by the D.C. government.
So far there's been no response from the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out how many times he's tried to flush that cr, um story.

Is he still mayor? If not he should run again. This victim strategy, I like to call Marrionberry jam, has worked well in DC in the past.

I would love to know why this sociopath had a suspended license.

Barry said the incident took several hours to work out and he was humiliated and severely inconvenienced. For THIS he was humiliated. Not for hitting crack with a hooker on videotape, but THIS was humiliating.

He said he wasn't able to drive all weekend due to a mistake by the D.C. government. The article wasn't clear. What was the mistake the D.C. government committed and how did several hours of inconvenience stretch into the entire week-end?
To: RockinRight
Woulda been a ticket, but then the dispatcher started reading his rap sheet.
