Snoop Keeps It Real

The storm (slight breeze?) of The Wire related news continues! While Michael drifts into a sad, suburban rebound TV show, Snoop (Felicia Pearson) is keeping it real! Although, really, this is the kind of real she probably shouldn't keep... or at least flush down the toilet before the law shows up at her door. From the AP:

Court records show Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, who played a killer of the same name on the televesion series, was charged after police went to her home in Northeast Baltimore to pick her up for refusing to cooperate as a witness in a murder trial.

She was arrested Wednesday after police served a warrant that would allow them to detain her, if needed, until the Sept. 16 trial of Steven Lashley. Court documents say Pearson is accused of having two cigars containing suspected marijuana in a bedroom and loose plant material. She was charged with one count of drug possession.

Drugs, murder trials... The Wire was fiction, right? Right?
