Snoop Dogg was arrested on suspicion of illegal drug and gun possession, police said. The rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus
,
was arrested at 3:45 p.m. Thursday at Bob Hope Airport, police said.
Snoop Dogg posted $35,000 bail and was scheduled to appear in court
Dec. 12.

Airport police officers stopped Snoop Dogg at a
loading zone for a vehicle code violation. When officers searched the
vehicle they found a gun and marijuana, police said.

“There was no basis for this arrest,” the
rapper’s attorney, Donald Etra, said in a statement. “We believe that
once this is cleared up, all charges will be dismissed.”

The Orange County district attorney’s office has
been considering charges against Snoop Dogg after authorities last
month discovered a 21-inch collapsible baton in his bags as he boarded
a New York-bound flight from John Wayne International Airport.  This reminds me of when DMX got arrested like 5 times and then missed court a few times during the three months leading up to his album, when is
Snoop dropping again?  Oh that’s right.
