HBO’s ‘Wire’ Star Must Testify At Murder Trial
August 25th, 2008Felicia “Snoop” Pearson is arrested on drug charges
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.

I THINK THAT SNOOP SHOULD JUST CORPORTATE WITH THE POLICE AND LEAVE BLATIMORE MD FOR GOOD.
same old bs criminals stick together it’s not snitching it’s telling the truth
what become a criminals for a criminal.i thought you were smarter than that.
She doesnt have a choice. Testify!!! She looks pretty tough to me. I know she’s not scared. Plus what does it matter. If she truly witnessed a crime, tell what she saw. That’s why the black community is in the shape it’s in today. One of the reasons anyway. And leave Felicia alone, she does favor a guy.
Gina leigh,
I’m sure you have a long list of why the black community “is in the shape it’s in today” huh? Well write a book, anyway obviously she has to testify that is not in dispute but she needs to remove herself from her old stompin grounds before she ends up incarcerated or dead like the company she so obviously keeps.
yea wha is jessica talking about?? something ain`t right thoe weed charges should be dropped if they did a illegal search she should have no know she would be target for he media and police since she is involved in a murder case some folk just can`t leave the hood stuff behind.
Jesscia…..you are dumb as dirt….LOL…..WTF IS REALLY GOIN ON!
She aint NO SNITCH… t.v. or no t.v. – some parts you just cant act out… Real Recognize Real…
Hit me up when you get out girl. I would love to have one conversation with you… http://www.myspace.com/unrevieled2
First off the show isn’t rubbing off on her! She was in the drug game before the show came out(since she was 14 years old). She then went to the juve until she was 18 and then went to Womens Corrections Facility in Bodymore (B-more) and was released when she was 23 i believe. And she met Michael K. Williams (Omar) at a club and they started talking and what not and Michael K. Williams introduced her to Ed Burns and David Simon and they had her to play the role of herself. So there lol she ain’t pretending to be nobody she ain’t she just being her. And I know this stuff is because I am a MAJOR fan of The Wire and Certain cast members (yup and they’re all dead lol how sad)
FELICIA CAN LIVE WHERE SHE WANT’S TO LIVE, IF THAT’S WHERE SHE FEELS COMFORTABLE THEN SO BE WHO ARE WE TO TELL HER WHERE TO LIVE JUST BECAUSE SHE DID THE WIRE DOES’NT MEAN SHE’S FINANCIALLY SECURE, AND SHE DOES’NT HAVE TO TESTIFY IF SHE DOES’NT WANT TO, THOSE DIRTY COPS HAD KNOW BUSINESS GOING IN HER BEDROOM EITHER, SOMEONE SHOULD GO TO THERE HOMES AND (SNOOP) AROUND THERE ASHTRAYS, BEDROOMS, ETC
DIRTY RATS!
STAY FOCUSED SNOOP PRAYED UP!
real talk!!she no snitch so leave her the f–k alone.she is a soldier and we need more people like her in this world.real talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well it was obvious she didn’t need a script on the Wire. She was being herself and ad-libbing through the whole show.
im so hurt.lol..i hope she gets out…
ok and ya’ll keep sayin “well if she seen what happened she needs to tesify and this is why the black community is in shambles or is in the situation its in”. WRONG! Think about it when you are in the game you absolutely can not snitch what so ever! that is a rule! Because this is what happens when you snitch– You Die! and when you’re in the game people always find out –always there is no way around it. Now if you are just a regular ass citizen and you snitch they really wouldn’t know. I have cousins and friends in the game plus I live in the middle of 3 crip territories in La man we know not to snitch. And about how black communities being the way they are. It’s only like that because people don’t teach the children right from wrong and parents teach materialistic things are what you should have instead of knowledge.Or you have people in the community who complain about how %#$* ain’t rite but yet wont do a damn thing about it.GO Vote! Go be a activist or something. I am 18 years old and i try to help out when i can instead of complainin
cuz dont c a rat cuz never tell on nobody cause u know how the game go
MANDIROZA,
I CAN IMAGINE WHAT A MESS YOUR LIFE IS WITH THAT KIND OF ADVICE. WE ARE ALL EXPRESSING OUR OPINIONS AND YOUR AIN’T NO BETTER THAN MINE!!!
From what I understand Felicia is originally from B’more and hadn’t been out of prison long before she obtained the role on the Wire. Addiction is heavy in Baltimore City. If you ride down Druid Hill St — the brownstones are all boarded up and there are several streets like that. When crack hit Baltimore — it hit hard. People who try and recover from addiction may stay clean for a little while; however, if you remain in that kind of environment and don’t possess the strength and strong self-esteem to stay clean — you will fall back into that life. Sad, Felicia did a good job — although her acting is a large part of who she really is — or things she is — a thug. This just goes to show she has leaches around her and no one who is looking after her interest. When the Wire left Baltimore — she should have left with it and went west where maybe somebody could have written a show about female street thugs or she could have taken this opportunity to do something positive and worthwhile in her home city. Wasted time and wasted talent. They’ll probably use this to make her testify. People in Baltimore are so stupid. They don’t realize that fear is what allows the criminal element to operate in THEIR neighborhoods as well as in THEIR homes. If people start telling the truth — these punks will find something positive to do with there lives. Sad thing is — they didn’t pay attention in school. Baltimore has such a rich African-American history — makes me wonder if the youth of Baltimore know who their ancestors are.
Stay in school and get your education and seek higher education because right now — this moment — that is the one stable thing that is available to you. Hanging on the corner — you want last long and neither will you live long.
Peace,

Shawty gone be alright. They know she saw what happened because somebody told them that! That’s why they came and got her. If they didn’t have a search and seizure warrant they had no right to be in the house. But they probably gone try and give her 12-18 months for not snitchin. F**k BCPD
F**K BALTIMORE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT
she is a gould a girl trying to look like a dude but she is pretty
