Marion Barry Charges Dropped
by Dean


Federal prosecutors have dropped charges against former Washington Mayor Marion Barry, who was accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend in Southeast D.C. last weekend.

U.S. Park Police arrested the current city councilman on Saturday on a stalking charge after they said a woman complained she was being stalked.

Barry's lawyer denied the allegations and said he was arrested on the way home from a meal with the woman, Donna Watts-Brighthaupt. Watts-Brighthaupt earlier this week also released a statement that appeared to deny she had accused him of stalking.

The U.S. Attorney's Office said Wednesday that it would not pursue the stalking charges after reviewing evidence, reports the Associated Press.
