Actress Felicia Pearson, best known as the character Snoop from HBO’s “The Wire,” has been charged with suspected marijuana possession after cops went to her Baltimore home last week to pursue her cooperation in a murder trial. Police found two cigars containing suspected marijuana in a bedroom, plus what they believed to be loose weed. Pearson has allegedly refused to appear as a witness to a 2005 murder. Cops say Pearson saw Steven Lashley stab three men, killing one, after an argument. She could be detained until Lashley’s September trial.

let me just start off by saying Snoop is my girl…..we grew up here in Baltimore and remain here. So all of all who keep saying she should have left….FOR WHAT DUMBASSES???
In any event…..something is still fishy about them damn PoPo’s searching her home. Well Baltimore Police are known for doing some illegal *~$@.

I understand what SESCHRIS is saying about Felicia rough past, dirt, and all that KEEPING REAL bull, understand you go into professions (business, movies, etc) to make money to get out of the hood and have the finder things in life, and if you want to keep it as you said “SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO PHYSICALLY MOVE AWAY FROM OUR PAST TO PREVENT IT FROM INFECTING OUR FUTURE.” If she doesn’t leave her past behind her she will fall like many black stars before her TYSON, OJ, VICK, ETC.

Worthy, Snoop was a “Hood figure” that the Producers of the show spotted in a night club, and she “Looked” perfect for the part. The problem is she has been “Type-Cast” so now thats all any producer will see her as. If she had dreames of becoming an actress then maybe she would have moved. But my understanding is that, B-more is her home and that is where she wants to be.

dave Said on

why hasnt someone mentioned the fact that she is a witness to a murder, and by the sound of it a pretty violent one at that. (he knifed three dudes, killing one). why the talk about her getting nabbed for weed, why arent people asking the question – why isnt she helping justice get served. justice for one justice for all. he had a family too im sure theyre pissed that she isnt coming forward and helping. people need to move away from the stigma of a “snitch”. talk about perpetuating stereotypes.



SHARONDA Said on

WHY THEY GO AN BUST HER FOR A LIL BIT OF WEED THAT AINT NO THANG WHAT ABOUT ALL THEM WHITE SEREAL KILLERS YOU DONT SEE THEM GETTIN ARESTED ITS IGNORANT



Shernita Said on

I think this is a sad case, but the justice system will do what it has to do to get people(regular and A-List folks) to talk. They knew the could not really hold her long for not wanting to testify but they fiqure if they hold her on a possession charge. She made it real easy for them to detain her.



carol Said on

No more responses to Jesscia. “She” is not real and cant read them. It’s nothing but spam and BET needs to tighten up. Snoop is a product of and, in this case, victim of her environment. It’s a case of one’s past coming back to haunt them. Hopefully she will step up and do the right thing, not just the right by the streets thing. People died or were injured and there needs to be justice for their families.



Renee J Said on

Thats funny that ole girl though Snoop was a boy LMAO!!!

Snoop grew up in Baltimore and she lived Baltimore streets…But in order to make a change in your life you have to want to change and then you have to change your surroundings!

Snoop is FAMILY!!!She is a female with male tendencies, its called A STUD, BUTCH,DOM!!!! We have many names but still females lol!!!

So, with that being said, she will always be involved in drama until she decides to move around it and away from it!!!! Snoop, keep ya head up homie…..Dont snitch and you will be in my prayers fam!!!!!!



seschris Said on

Does that mean that she can not do better and should stay in Baltimore? Why stay in an environment where you can’t succeed. Has she tried to get any other parts. That doesn’t justify her return to the streets does it? The job is over so back to dealing and stealing? That’s bull she needs to leave that area. No excuses. Baltimore is not the answer if she wants to maintain a better life.



Debor'ra Said on

GOD be with her on what she needs to do. Pray about it. I had to comment, because she played the hell out of that part. To many people that are Black
and don’t live in that life, but have teenager’s. That show taught me a lot.I hate that it is the last season. Everybody is a child of God I don’t care what mess they get in ture or not. We as people sould pray for them, instead of pull them down with negative talk WE would be so powerfull.



Ay Said on

I think Shernita said it best regarding why Snoop is in trouble with the police. For those saying she needs to leave Baltimore, there is more to Baltimore than what is seen on the Wire and I doubt she still lives in the hood she grew up in. Sure there are probably people she does not need to associate with anymore but I don’t know her personally so I won’t go into that. Also, I don’t know how she would just move to LA (for example) when I don’t see any other people required to move from their hometown everytime trouble comes around them. I will admit, I do not follow her activities outside of the Wire so I don’t know if she has been in any other trouble since appearing on the show.



Mom of 3 TK&K Said on

Once again the police got bring someone down to do their dirty work!! What the hell r we the taxes payers paying for?



donnita Said on

Well 1st of all snoop is no character there was an article done on her in ebony or essence one of them that was really her life 2 a certain extent … now as far as the weed if they smelt it that considered probable cause like when u pulled over 4 running a light same thing if they smell weed they can search 4 it since its still illegal



Dawn Said on

What I want to know is what were they doing in her bedroom if they were just trying to get her cooperation with a murder trial? Sounds like her lawyer needs to get the charge thrown out due to “illegal search”…..



seschris Said on

Ay,

She has a long history of criminal activity in Baltimore before the show. So Baltimore is not the best place for her if she wants to succeed. Of course all of Baltimore is not bad but some areas really are. You know how some people need to get out of certain areas otherwise there is always gonna be some mess. Especially where she grew up and has family. She has a bad history there. Common sense dictates that a move is smart. It’s not a coincidence that she was in the position to witness this knife attack. It’s par for the course. She said it all herself in her book. Plus having lived briefly in Baltimore myself and in Maryland for 8 years…I know the areas. I also know many people that left those areas because Baltimore is too small for some to avoid trouble. And she has too much bad history there. She’s seen and done too much.



pam Said on

I don’t think that she should have to snitch if she don’t want to cause she is the only one that seems to be thinking of the out come if she does cause the cops are not and I don’t think that’s fair how it went from her coming to court to her being held on two $@##?%?* ass blunts she had at her crib and did they even have a warrent to do that $%*$ any way?all I can say is keep ya head up and don’t let that @~#$@# up ass police system #@@% u no matter what



Madison Said on
