WASHINGTON (CNN) - Former D.C. mayor, now Washington councilman, Marion Barry has been arrested again.
On July 4, the U.S. Park Police arrested Barry and charged him with misdemeanor stalking.
About 8:45 p.m. in Anacostia Park, a Washington woman flagged down a Park Police officer on patrol and pointed to Barry, who was in another car. The woman said Barry was stalking her, Park Police spokesman Sgt. David Schlosser said.
Barry was taken into custody, processed and released, but he must make a court appearance for the charge. A court date has not been set.

Will this fool ever learn?
and why is this guy still in office?
I think the only post that he has not held is Police Chief... Maybe the DC voters will find a way to get that for him too!
can't believe what dems get away with in America–there will be a million excuses for this guy–while they try to fry Palin with trumped up accusations. Bitter? You betcha!
what a complete loser. Wasn't he just going off on gays last month? HA HA HA. You've shown what you're made of once again, Marion Barry. HA HA HA.
...and you wonder DC is the way it is... the residents have no one to blame but themselves. This guy was elected to city government AGAIN.
moron
Blame Rush,Palin,Bush,Rove, Cheney and Fox
Sifto
Palin pretty much gets out the deep skillet, fills it with oil, heats it up and jumps right in to fry herself. No help needed from the dems, the media, the citizens of Alaska (who she just turned her back on).
It's OK, he's a Democrat.
If Barry were a rep the charge would be sexual predator.
lol@Palin haters obession. Barry is the subject not Palin.
wait a sec, since when is it wrong to try and pick up hotties at anacostia park??? Thats what you do in DC in the summertime. Wash the car and head to Anacostia park in hopes of meeting a pretty girl. I hope there's more to this story.
Im a dem. He's an idiot. So is Palin. Can't we just begin some patriotic, non-partisan, idiot identification? It's good for the country.
Let Marion Barry and Mark Sanford run together as President and VIce Presidential candidates for the National Nut Case Soul Mate Stalker Party
To paraphrase the saying you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink. You can lead a dem to the truth but you cant make him think
What a sorry reflection on the voters of DC!
He will be alright as long as he remembers to use his pigmentation shield (usually called a race card) !!!
1. This is not a political issue. Stop treating it as such.
2. The Mr. Sanford scandal isn't a political issue either. BUT, if you're going to claim to be the party of moral superiority...don't cry when people take shots at you when you slip up.
Stop politicizing everything. Barry is a weirdo. There are some Republican weirdos too. Now lets talk about the issues.
DC cops got the wrong black politician. The criminal is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Marion Barry is such a fool. He needs to just take his sick behind home and STAY home before he ends up in JAIL like OJ.
I man is this man STUPID or what? What is it with MEN, have they all lost their minds or what?
It is mind boggling that the residents of Ward 8 in DC keep electing this guy. He is an embarassment.
Joe Biden: "We misread how bad the economy was"
Joe Biden: "More jobs will be created in the coming months"
HUH? Last time I checked, NO JOBS have been created.
You liberals voted these clowns into office. This is the worst leadership ever.
STILL NOTHING from Obama about N.Korea and now Iran wants PUBLIC talks with Obama. Ridiculous. Here comes the crumpets and tea that Obama talked about. If he meets with Iran face to face, it will be a complete insult to everything America stands for and all the men and women that have died for our country.
He probably thought she was a dealer.
It's interesting how the conservatives on this blog have adopted the victim strategy, just like Palin has always done. Keep it up! It assures your "side" will never win another election.
More evidence that the church age has come to an end.
You have to understand-to people living in the DC Metro burbs (VA & MD) this guy is a walking joke. He's like the court jester, they keep him around so they can laugh. Oh, and @ sifto 77-Marion Barry hasn't gotten away with squat. If he HAD, we wouldn't be reading about his third arrest. You want to think aoout who got away with what, let's take a good hard look @Dick Cheney.
I'am no Marion Berry fan, but lets look at this, the man have one kidney and as a result this and other medical condition must take numerous different types of medication daily, he is over 70 years old and can hardly walk any significent distance, but he is stalking someone, give me a break. Its going to be interesting to hear the other evidence they have in this case oh and by the way the Officer who arrested him was from New York and didn't know who Marion Berry was .No S**** ,by the way, I have a bridge in Alaska I can give you a excellent deal on.
Why can't this idiot just disappear?
Sigh. Now what? This man is the male, African American version of Sarah Palin. He just seems to not be the sharpest knife in the drawer. Seriously, Barry can't be the most qualified person in D.C. for any political job. This man is just slightly more classy than a thug. Yikes!

Yes you little tick. We voted Obama/Biden and we are proud. By the way, if you can get a train out of the one horse town you obviously live in, go to a big city. In the area that I live in, I have actually seen crews repairing our rotten, pot-hole pocked streets. There are actually signs letting people know that the jobs are being provided by the stimulus money. By-the-by, George Bush was the worst leadership ever. I don't even want to be alive if we get another president as bad as he was.
Please, Dear God don't let D.C. get to vote for national elections. They've been pushing for it recently, and as you can obviously see, it would be a disastrous joke.
This has GOT to make it into Chris Rock's next comedy routine.
I also got arrested last night. for having fireworks
When will the people of DC learn that this man is corrupt and totally off-balance????? This is a perfect example of just why DC does not deserve 2 senators and a voting member of the House.
racist DC police; watch out Mr. President, if they can arrest an innocent man like Ken Berry so easily, then they can get to you. A coup is happening people! Don't let the republicans win!!!
Who the heck cares about thie NON- News!?
He's a disgrace to D.C.
Marion Barry is a genius compared to the Barry in the White House.
What an idiot!!
Detroit, D.C., Minnesota, these places are proof there should be voting exams. These libs that vote for these people must be Special. [to borrow a phrase from obama]
I used to support the idea of DC getting 2 senators and some Reps. But since they keep re-electing/supporting this guy...clearly there's not enough of an intelligent populace to trust with the responsibility.
He's a loser but all he did was make a bunch of you into bigger losers, by showing the world how racist or petty you are by some of your comments.
