Ex-DC mayor candidate arrested on driving charge

[The Northerner]

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former D.C. mayoral candidate says he was arrested and charged with driving on a suspended Maryland license and failure to obey.

The Washington Post reports (http://wapo.st/qgGCZo ) that Sulaimon Brown, who has accused aides of then-candidate Vincent Gray of trying to buy his support, says he was arrested on early Monday in Washington. Brown says he was also issued a $75 ticket for driving with a broken headlight.

Brown says he was pulled over while driving home from his sister's birthday. He did not explain why he had a Maryland driver's license.

Brown is scheduled to appear in Superior Court this week as part of the D.C. Council's investigation into Gray's hiring practices. Brown says Gray's campaign gave him cash and promised him a job for criticizing then-Mayor Adrian Fenty.
