Felicia 'Snoop' Pearson, who played a criminal in the HBO series, 'The Wire,' was arrested by DEA agents in Baltimore.An actress who played a drug assassin on the HBO series "The Wire" was busted Thursday in a major narcotics sweep in Baltimore.
Felicia "Snoop" Pearson was among 30 people rounded up by the Drug Enforcement Agency on charges involving a large-scale heroin and marijuana operation, The Baltimore Sun reported.
The 30-year-old mush-mouthed actress, who played one of the chief enforcers for Marlo Stanfield's drug operation on the show, was taken into custody on a Maryland state warrant.
It's not Pearson's first brush with the law. She served 6 1/2 years in prison after being convicted of murder when she was 14.
She was also recently arrested for refusing to testify as a witness in a Baltimore murder trial.
She landed the role on "The Wire," after meeting actor Michael Williams, who played Omar Little, at a Baltimore club. Impressed by her gritty background, he introduced her to the show's producers.
