"The Wire" Actor Busted in Drug Raid
Felicia "Snoop" Pearson caught in Baltimore drug sweep Felicia Pearson's real-life struggles with drugs and crime informed her perfomance on the critically-acclaimed HBO series "The Wire," and it looks like she never fully shook off her past.
According to the Baltimore Sun, Pearson was arrested early this morning along with 30 other suspects in a Baltimore drug raid. The raids were reportedly targeting heroin and marijuana rings.
Pearson was cast as hardened drug dealer "Snoop" on "The Wire" in 2002, but she spent her troubled early life working the streets of Baltimore as an actual drug dealer - and was even convicted of second-degree murder at age 14. She spent six years in prison.
