In January 1990, then Washington, DC Mayor Marion Barry made national headlines after he was arrested on charges of possession of cocaine at the downtown Vista International Hotel, following a lengthy undercover investigation by the FBI and DC police.
In an unfortunate example of like father like son, on May 28, 2011, police arrested Christopher Barry, the son of the former mayor on felony drug dealing charges after police found PCP and marijuana in his apartment. This has some people wondering if Christopher is following in his infamous father’s footsteps or just tagging too closely behind.
