Arrested on drug charges

Baltimore police officials arrested her and 60 other people in after raids on her house and finding narcotics (drugs there). She was accused of funding the entire operation of bringing drugs and selling it to make money. Judge John Addison Howard refused bail to her and commented, "Well, you can change your appearance, I've seen the episodes of The Wire in which you appear. You look very different than you do here today, and I'm not talking about the jumpsuit, I'm talking about your general appearance." On 8 April 2011, she was given a bail for $50,000. One day before the case was set to begin for charges in August 2011, she pleaded guilty following which she received a suspended 7-year jail term, with credit for time served and 3 years of supervised probation.
