‘THE WIRE’ ACTOR ARRESTED IN BALTIMORE DRUG RAID!

I don’t know if this is a case of art imitating life, or when the checks stop coming..smh!

More than 30 people, including the actress known as “Snoop” from the Baltimore-based HBO series “The Wire,” were arrested Thursday morning across the city and its surrounding counties in connection with a large-scale heroin and marijuana operation.

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.

In her 2007 memoir, “Grace After Midnight,” Pearson — now 30 — wrote of being born to a drug-addicted mother and then selling drugs herself. At 14, she killed another teenager and served time in Jessup State Penitentiary for murder, the memoir says. 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.
