Barry Pleads Guilty to Tax Misdemeanors
Former District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts stemming from his failure to file tax returns in 2000.
Sentencing for Barry, a city councilman, was set for Jan. 18 in U.S. District Court. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor counts of willfully failing to file and failure to provide information.
A plea agreement recommended probation. Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson freed Barry, 69, on his own recognizance but ordered him to inform federal authorities before leaving the area.
