Woman Who Sped Through D.C. Crowd Loses Job at Councilman's Office
Monday, June 04, 2007
WASHINGTON — The woman who plowed through a crowd of people with her car Saturday night will no longer be working as a receptionist in the office of Washington, D.C., Councilman Marion Barry.
Barry, the former mayor, terminated a contract with the company who provided Tonya Bell as a temporary employee for his office.
"Needless to say we are greatly saddened by the incident not only because of the tremendous pain and suffering of the victims, but also because our office relied on the integrity of your screening procedures in agreeing to the placement," Barry wrote in a letter sent to NAI Personnel, the employment agency.
Forty people were injured after Bell drove through a street festival with her Volvo. Bell had been "smoking crack all day long," Police Chief Cathy Lanier alleged.
