Edd’s MANtra: Snoop in the Slammer

Art imitates life. From washingtonpost.com, with thanks to my girl @sophiiblu:

More than 30 people, including the actress known as “Snoop” from the Baltimore-based HBO series “The Wire,” were arrested Thursday morning across the city and its surrounding counties in connection with a large-scale heroin and marijuana operation.

Felicia “Snoop” Pearson, known for her drug-assassin character on “The Wire,” was taken into custody at a downtown apartment on a state warrant, officials said.

The actress has a troubled past, having been convicted at age 14 of second-degree murder. More recently, she refused to testify as a witness at a murder trial and was arrested at her then-Northeast Baltimore home.

Somehow this doesn’t surprise me. There was always something about Snoop that told me that she wasn’t just “acting.” That raspy voice, the crazed look in her eyes, the forceful way she curses – even though she looks like Lil Romeo there is NO WAY I’d cross her.

Poor Snoop. Marlo and Chris will bail her out.

In one of the most hilarious scenes ever, watch Snoop creep out a hardware store employee.
