A spokeswoman to former Washington D.C. Mayor Marion Barry claims that her boss is not a stalker and insists the woman making these allegations is a constituent he has helped on numerous occassions.

According to Fox News, "D.C. Council Member Marion Barry is no 'peeping Tom' and was not engaged in any sort of 'hide-and-seek stalking,' his spokesman said Sunday, a day after the former mayor's arrest on charges of misdemeanor stalking."

On the steps of Washington's city hall during a press conference, Natalie Williams, Barry's spokeswoman, claims that her boss had been unfairly charged, and hopes that if the charges are not dropped then the truth will prevail in a trial.

Williams is quoted as saying, "Council member Barry is no stalker."

As reported by Fox News, "the details surrounding the July 4th incident are still emerging, but Williams said, Barry had supposedly met with Donna Watts - described as a resident in Barry's 8th ward earlier in the day for lunch. They parted ways. Barry then attended to other events, such as a parade celebrating Independence Day, she said."

On his trip home, Barry "ran into" the female near Good Hope Road in Anacostia Park.

as revealed in a U.S. Park police statement, the woman grabbed the attention of an officer and stated that she was being stalked. Park police interrogated both Barry and Watts on the scene, and based on those details, escorted Barry to a holding facility for further questioning. He was processed and charged and later released.

Williams explained that her boss was not following the so-called victim adding that he was in a vehicle in front of Watts when the alleged incident happened.

Fox News reports that, "on sunday, Barry did not talk with reporters, but continued his normal weekend routine of attending church. Although Williams did mention Barry was also expected to contact his parole officer."
