Marion Barry arrested: claims another set-up

Marion Barry (pictured) is in yet another scrape with the law.

Barry said that he is talking to his lawyers and thinking about suing the D.C. government and the U.S. Park Police.

Mr. Barry is a Washington D.C. Councilman and former D.C. Mayor.

The controversial former mayor claims he was targeted. He is accusing the U.S. Park Service of racial profiling.

The story is here along with links to more than a dozen other stories of recent scrapes with the law. And that’s just this year! The charges range from DUI and drug offenses to not filing state and federal income taxes.

One thing is always consistent. It’s never his fault!
