Legal troubles nothing new for ‘Wire’ actress
"Felicia "Snoop" Pearson has spent much of the past two decades drawn to the gritty glamour of life on the streets, and nearly as much time and energy struggling to break free.
Critics will see the arrest of the 30-year-old Baltimore actress on Thursday on drug charges as evidence that she's a career criminal — an image that only was heightened by her portrayal of a coldblooded assassin on HBO's "The Wire."
But Pearson's friends, and there are many, are profoundly saddened by her latest run-in with police."
