Pearson played a drug dealer and enforcer on the hit HBO program “The Wire.” But her acting life was similar to her real life. At the age of 14, Pearson was a drug dealer and shot and killed Okla Toomer. She was convicted of second degree murder and was sentenced to two eight-year terms, to be served consecutively, at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women in Jessup, Maryland. She was released after six and a half years.
