That story was awfully vague. It made it seem like a person can just flag down a police car, point to someone in a parked car and have the police arrest that person for stalking.

There is more going on here than what was reported in that story. The Washington Post provided a few more details:

Quote:
D.C. Council member Marion Barry was arrested last night and charged with stalking a woman after the woman reported that Barry was "bothering her" as the two traveled in separate vehicles in Anacostia Park, police said this morning.

At about 8:45 p.m., a woman traveling near the intersection Good Hope Road and Anacostia Drive flagged down a U.S. Park Police officer to report that a man in a vehicle nearby was stalking her, said Sgt. David Schlosser, a Park Police spokesman.

That man, Schlosser said, was Barry.

The officer interviewed the woman and Barry, then arrested Barry and took him to the Park Police's Anacostia Station, Schlosser said. There a detective interviewed Barry again, and police charged him with a misdemeanor count of stalking. Barry was released and ordered to appear in court, likely sometime later this week, Schlosser said.

Schlosser declined to identify the woman or specify her relationship with Barry. He also declined to detail what Barry told officers regarding the incident.

Hey, leave Marion Berry alone!

He's the only politician who ever lived up to his promise to get drugs off the street.

When that "someone in a parked car" is a known creep and convicted crack head, then yeah, he'll probably get arrested.

The whole Jackson thing is just proof of what anybody with any brains has known for a long time: Al Sharpton is not a Civil Rights Leader, he is a Media Whore who will say anything or take up any cause that will get him airtime.

Marion finds somebody to blame:The US Park Police.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...l?hpid=artslot

The people of DC should be truly ashamed and humiliated by returning this crook to office time and time again.

Yes, welcome to whinger heaven, Nirvana to all self appointed victims. Don't know if the former mayor is being abused here, or just being his usual dumb self.

By the way, your MJ avatar is just plain wrong. (I therefore love it, in a sick and twisted way.)
