On Thursday March 10, 2011 Felicia “Snoop” Pearson was arrested charged with conspiring to sell heroin and was one among 64 people charged in a joint state-federal persecution of a large east Baltimore drug gang.

Why it may look like life imitating art as she seems to be causght up in the dope  game like her character in HBO’s The Wire, her P.R. team has released a statement on her behalf:

“Felicia Pearson has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. In Felicia’s case, she feels that she is being targeted not only because of her portrayal of the memorable character “Snoop” On HBO’s critically acclaimed series THE WIRE; but also because of where she is from in Baltimore.
