ON this date in 1991 - Marion Barry, former mayor of the District of Columbia, was sentenced to six months in prison for possession of crack cocaine.

The sting was set up when DEA agents Bun Man and Mr. P posed as plumbers.

Into Mayor Barry's apt, Bun Man said to Mr. P as he was bending over to fix the kitchen piping "Man, that's a lot of crack..."; at that point, Marion said "You wanna see a lot of crack?"

--The rest is history.
