In an unfortunate case of life imitating art, Felicia Pearson--best known for her role as the pint-sized mumble-mouthed drug-dealing assassin Snoop on HBO's The Wire--was busted in Baltimore along with more than 30 other people during an early hours drug raid this morning.

The actress was taken into custody at a downtown apartment on a state warrant, reports the Baltimore Sun, after predawn raids were carried out across the city by local, state and federal law enforcement agencies as part of a five-month drug investigation revolving around a large-scale heroin and marijuana operation.

This, however, isn't the first time the 30-year-old has been in trouble with the law. When she was 14, Pearson was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to two eight-year terms, but was released after serving just over six years behind bars.
