“Snoop” From ‘The Wire’ Arrested in Large-Scale Drug Operation

According to The Washington Post, Felicia Pearson, 30, who played “Snoop” on HBO’s critically acclaimed TV series, ‘The Wire’, was among more than 30 people swept up in a large-scale heroin and marijuana drug sting.

Isn’t it ironic that as soon as Da Brat comes out, Snoop goes in?

The sting operation involved multiple drug enforcement agencies resulting in drug busts all across the city of Baltimore and its surrounding counties.

Raids were carried out in the pre-dawn hours by agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, Baltimore police and a slew of other federal and state law enforcement agencies.

Felicia “Snoop” Pearson, known for her drug-assassin character on “The Wire,” was taken into custody at a downtown apartment on a state warrant, officials said.

The actress has a troubled past, having been convicted at age 14 of second-degree murder. More recently, she refused to testify as a witness at a murder trial and was arrested at her then-Northeast Baltimore home.

The arrests are part of a five-month drug investigation, officials said.
