Felecia “Snoop” Pearson appeared in court yesterday (May 17th), where she entered a plea of not guilty to drug conspiracy charges.
Pearson, who rose to fame as a character on HBO’s hit series The Wire about the Baltimore drug trade, is accused of helping to distribute heroin. She is one of 64 people picked up in a citywide sweep and charged in a federal investigation dubbed “Operation Usual Suspects.”
In a previous statement Felecia Persons adamantly denied the charges against her.
“Felicia Pearson has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty,” rep for Pearson said. “In Felicia’s case, she feels that she is being targeted not only because of her portrayal of the memorable character ‘Snoop’ On HBO’s critically acclaimed series ‘The Wire’ but also because of where she is from in Baltimore.”
Snoop, who served 6 1/2 years for murdering a woman she was 14, will face a jury trial currently scheduled for August 9th
