Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, who played a diminutive yet fearsome drug dealer and assassin on HBO's The Wire, was arrested along with more than 30 other people Thursday morning in a sweeping drug raid in Baltimore.
Pearson, 30, was taken into custody at an apartment downtown on a state warrant, reports the Baltimore Sun.
The pre-dawn raids, conducted by city, state and federal law enforcement, reportedly targeted a large-scale heroin and marijuana operation.
Pearson, who had a troubled upbringing, had worked as a drug dealer in Baltimore long before being cast on The Wire in 2002. At age 14, she was convicted of second-degree murder and spent more than six years in prison.
Thursday's arrests were part of a five-month drug investigation, according to officials.

Did she play the one that hardly anybody (viewers) could understand?
She mumbled a little but I had no problem understanding her.
The Wire did make Baltimore look like a complete shithole.
has anyone opened a Balti restaurant in Baltimore?

Parts of it definitely are. I'll be there in 2 weeks but won't be venturing out of the airport.
John Waters films make it look pretty and lovely and fun.

Wasn't Edgar Allan Poe from Baltimore? I seem to remember that from an episode of the excellent Homicide: Life on the Street.
