Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus was arrested for illegal possession of drug Marijuana by the US Customs and Border Protection at 3am on Saturday at the US/Mexico border checkpoint. Most probably it is the same check post where country singer Willie Nelson was arrested for illegal possession of Marijuana in 2010.
Agent was checking cars as in routine. He smelled mariujana inside the bus and he requested the bus driver to pull over into the secondary lane for further inspection." the Daily Mail quoted a Sheriff's Office spokesman as saying.
"The agent requested all subjects to exit the bus so that a canine working the checkpoint could conduct an inspection of the vehicle. Upon entring the bus the canine alerted to a trashcan located at the rear of the vehicle where a red prescription bottle containing rolled marijuana cigarettes were located. A further search produced two other containers containing marijuana weighing in all total of 0.130 lbs."
According to the lawmen, the rap legend didn't try to pin the blame on someone else. "Calvin C. Broadus a.k.a Snoop Dogg freely admitted that the marijuana belonged to him and he was placed under arrest by U.S Border patrol agents and detained," the spokesman said. "At approximately 4am Hudspeth County Sheriff's Office was contacted and upon arrical, Mr. Broadus was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia,"
He was released after being told that he has to make a court appearance on or before Jan 20.
