WASHINGTON — Records show that D.C. Councilmember Michael A. Brown has had his driver’s license suspended five times over the past eight years because of traffic violations and failure to pay tickets.
The Washington Post reports that Brown has been without his driving privileges for a quarter of the time he’s spent on the council. The Post obtained the information through a Freedom of Information Act request.
The records show that he was barred from driving between June 2009 and March 2010, with the exception of about 30 days. He also had his license suspended three times between 2005 and 2007.
Brown declined to comment. Last week, he revealed that more than $113,000 had gone missing from his

BOYNTON BEACH — The woman who plowed into two parked trucks on the side of Interstate 95 Friday, leaving three roofers dead and two others critically hurt, was driving with a suspended license, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
A law enforcement officer was driving right behind Cheryl Lee Daugherty about 10:15 a.m. Friday and saw her slam into two Covenant Services roofing company pickups in the left emergency lane, FHP Lt. Tim Frith said Saturday afternoon.
He said one of the two vehicles, a Toyota Tundra and a Ford F-150, had broken down, and the five workers had gotten out, when Daugherty’s black 2004 Mercedes-Benz crossed three northbound lanes and struck them.
Frith said the witness told investigators: “It looked like a left turn. It was the weirdest thing. One car got on its horn. And then, ‘boom!’ She ran into the two stopped trucks. It was a miracle that she crossed all those lanes and did not get hit.”
Killed were Christopher Andrews, 25, of Pompano Beach, and Andrew Hickey, 42, of Deerfield Beach, who were under the Tundra. Robert McHenry, 61, of Deerfield Beach, was taken to Delray Medical Center and died there.
Also at Delray Medical Center: co-workers Ernest Woods, 49, in critical condition, and Thelonius McCarthy, 31, in serious condition; both are from Pompano Beach.
Daugherty, 42, of Oakland Park, was taken to Bethesda Memorial Hospital with minor injuries, Frith said.

D.C. Council member Michael A. Brown’s driver’s license has been suspended five times over the past eight years because of traffic violations and his failure to pay for the citations, city records show.
Brown (I-At Large) lost his driving privileges for a quarter of the time he’s served on the council, according to a 10-year driving record provided by the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles under a Freedom of Information Act request by The Washington Post.
The documents further illustrate the troubles Brown has had managing his personal and political affairs, which are becoming central to his reelection campaign. Those troubles include revelations last week that his campaign account is missing $113,950.
Brown, through his spokesman, declined to comment about his driving record or his campaign’s financial troubles.
The records show that, except for about 30 days, he could not drive from June 15, 2009, through March 8, 2010, after he accumulated 10 points or more on his driving record. Brown’s license also was suspended three times between 2005 and 2007 for unpaid traffic citations — before he joined the council
