D.C. Council member Marion Barry tested positive for cocaine use in the fall in a drug test ordered by a court after he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor tax charges, according to two sources familiar with Barry's case.
-snip-
Because he violated the terms of his release, Barry, 69, faces an increased risk of serving the maximum 18 months behind bars -- rather than probation -- for his failure to file tax returns for six years. He is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 8, but a federal judge could jail him or sanction him at any time.

He got robbed at gunpoint, then asked that the authorities not go after the perps...looks more like a drug buy gone wrong than ever...

I have pity for the poor man. He's obviously a tortured soul.
What boggles my mind is he got re-elected in DC and is currently a councilman. Huh?! What a bunch of low-life scumbag voters in DC.

"for his failure to file tax returns for six years."

Favorite Marion Barry jokes:
When Barry was Mayor of D.C., they would give visiting dignitaries the "kilo" to the city!
Mayor Barry was a STRONG believer in running the city as a work-free drug place.
Hahaha! Those still make me laugh!
