The Wire’s Felicia Pearson, aka Snoop, is in police custody after being arrested on minor drug charges.
The actress who plays a cold-blooded killer that goes by her real life moniker, Snoop, was picked up by police for her up for refusing to cooperate as a witness in a murder trial.
Members of the homicide unit forced entry into Snoop’s Northeast Baltimore home Wednesday morning to serve a “body attachment” warrant, which would allow authorities to detain her, if necessary, until the Sept. 16 murder trial of Steven James Lashley.
Once inside the home, police found two cigars containing marijuana residue and “loose plant material” was recovered from the top of a kitchen cabinet. Pearson was charged with one count of drug possession yesterday and was being held at Central Booking.
Authorities said Pearson watched Lashley stab three men, killing one, after an argument that began outside New York Fried Chicken on The Block in the fall of 2005, and she is expected to be called as a witness during the trial.
Snoop already told investigators that she wasn’t involved in the stabbing
According to The Baltimore Sun, a warrant was issued for Snoop on July 1, after she missed an April 21 trial date
She also recently avoided prosecutors’ phone calls in regards to the trial.
