D.C. Council Member and former Mayor Marion Barry said he was improperly stopped and charged Saturday by U.S. Park Police.
Police detained him for nearly three hours after pulling him over for driving too slowly, Barry said. Police cited Barry, 70, for driving on a suspended license, but the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles said his license was in good standing and attributed the mistake to a computer glitch.
