RAPPER and actor Snoop Dogg, one of the biggest names on the West Coast hiphop scene, has been arrested after airport police said they found a gun and marijuana in his car.
The 35-year-old rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, was arrested on Thursday at Burbank airport near Los Angeles. Police stopped him for leaving his car too long in the passenger loading area, a police spokesman said. Broadus was booked and released on $35,000 bail.
Meanwhile, prosecutors in Orange County, south of Los Angeles, are considering whether to file charges against the rapper for trying to bring a collapsible police baton on board a plane last month.
