Felicia Pearson, the actress who played drug assassin Snoop on HBO’s “The Wire,” was one of 60-plus people arrested in and around Baltimore this morning, the result of five-month investigation into a large-scale heroin and marijuana operation. Man, you think she would’ve learned something from watching Seasons 1 and 3.
Of course, Pearson isn’t some Oxford-trained actress who got caught up in drugs; she’s a Baltimore hood who got caught up in acting.
The actress has a troubled past, which served as the basis for her memoir, Grace After Midnight. In 1996, when she was 16, she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for fatally shooting Okia “Kia” Toomer during a fight in Baltimore and was sentenced to eight years in prison. More recently, she refused to testify as a witness at a murder trial and was arrested at her then-Northeast Baltimore home. [Baltimore Sun]
There’s still no word on what Pearson will be charged with, but I’ll always support her solely because of the way her character bought a nail gun at Home Depot. And as long as I’m being optimistic: prison’s a happier ending for her than the one she got in “The Wire.”

How my hair look?
When brought in for her mugshot, Snoop simply asked, “How my hair look, Mike?”
Man said if we wanna shoot nails, this here’s the Cadillac. He mean Lexus, but he ain’t know it.
How my hair look, Mike?

Ohhhhhhhhh, I get it. She’s Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dog. Wait, what?
Yep. She and the Enema Man used to board up people in abandoned homes.
Skeeeirt!
Deserve ain’t got nuffin’ to dew widdit.
In B’more we aim and hit a n*%&$.
The good news, by the way, is that as long as Marlo takes care of her family, she’ll keep her mouth shut and do the time.
My name was on the street?
…
MY NAME IS MY NAME!
when reached for comment Marlo said: “You want it to be one way….but it’s the other way”
With all due respect, she earned that collar like a motherfucker.
You look good, girl.
She should have done it like Poot and sold shoes.
Looks like the Snoop quotes have been exhausted so I’ll just agree that the hardware store season was outstanding…. and Carmelo Anthony approves of her not snitching to Baltimore PD.
I’m beginning to think I should give this “Wire” show a chance.
Next up, the guy who played Ziggy will be busted in a kiddy porn scandal. *crosses fingers*
You commenters make me proud.
That’s some shameful shit right there.
“prison’s a happier ending for her than the one she got in “The Wire.””
For real? I’d much rather a nice quick shot to the head than spend 1 day in Jessop.
I’m not sure what is more surprising, Snoop going back to prison, or the golden voiced homeless guy going back to rehab.
@Burnsy As if duck murder wasn’t enough. Damn you, Ziggy.
The actor that played Ziggy sort of redeemed himself in Generation Kill.
But nothing can redeem Ziggy.
Sad Bassett Hound w/ cornrows is sad.
sheeeeeeit…the wire best show eva…
Good for her, she’s not a good person murdering someone and now drugs, I hope this time she gets what she deserves.
