Snoop Dog Arrested Outside "The Tonight Show"

Snoop Dogg: Click to watchRapper Snoop Dogg was arrested Tuesday night for allegedly possessing drugs and a firearm.

Detectives from the Burbank Police Department served a search warrant on Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, outside NBC studios in Burbank at approximately 7:30 p.m. this evening. Police say they found the rapper in possession of cocaine, a firearm and a large amount of marijuana. He was also cited for allegedly having a false compartment in his vehicle.

The rapper had just performed on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and was leaving the studio when police pulled his car over on Bob Hope Drive and placed him under arrest. Bail has been set at $60,000, and TMZ is told that the lawyer for the rap star expects him to be released sometime this evening.

During the performance, Snoop clutched a microphone with a large marijuana leaf symbol displayed across his hand.

Law enforcement officials tell TMZ the search warrant was conducted as part of an ongoing investigation into the Dogg's arrest earlier this month at the Burbank Airport, after he allegedly tried carrying a gun in a carry-on bag onto a plane.

170. You're "caucation" ? What the f**k is caucation? Did you mean caucasian, or white? You not knowing how to spell your own race does in fact make us look bad. Nice touch of class with the three straight lines of CAPS though. It really shows off your mental prowess. You should smoke some weed, at least you'd have a reason for being a f***ing idiot.

174. Leave the Dogg alone for goodness sakes! Why are the politicians wasting our tax dollars chasing Snoop Dogg around? How much detective work did it take to figure out that Snoop Dogg was in the vicinity of some weed? And of course he carries a firearm - any celebrity in El Lay probably needs to carry one...

Is it a coincidence that Snoop gets Pop'ed after a tonight show Weed leaf bling incident and just a few weeks ago Willie Nelson's bus was pulled over the day after he & Texas Gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman called for decriminalization Or were both Snoop & Willie's bust also just good police work?

Why are our politicians making examples of these people? The El Lay politicians want to add to the USA's World Record for the greatest number of citizens incarcerated... "Land of the Free"? not to a whole bunch of your fellow citizens and mine?

There's Something Happenin' Here - You better Stop what's that sound? Everybody Look what's goin' down – déjà vu all over again!

175. Narcotics+ firearms possesion at the same time is a felony.I dont care if hes white black or polkadot pink...he should get 10 years, but ill bet he wont..money is the deciding factor if someone goes to prison these days...nothing else.

176. "INDIVIDUAL" - are you ashamed of white people because Jeffrey Dahmer cut up and ate teen-age boys?...amen

does that make all of us white people bad?

it sounds alittle fishy how he got stopped , kinda like they were outside waiting on him to come out!

i smoke and have read research that 75%-80% of america's population also smoke it, at least on a part time basis,but you all,well some of you are right, if that had been me with my berretta and "a large amount of marijuana" i would be on my way to the big house with the bars on the windows.

but any publicity of a celebrity is good publicity, thats an old adage that still stands true, just look how paris hilton's carrer blew up after the sex tape scandle, and the flashing without panties since then she's starred in movies and such! so that old adage must still be true!

so just toke on it and chill out.

and the people saying he's paranoid from the weed that's why he's carring a gun, tell that to tupac!!!

you have to realize the neiborhood these guys run and hang out in, a gun ,is pretty much essential...yea they've made it big and have the money and cars and a home in a high society neighborhood, but they still go to the rough neighborhoods they were raised in.

nothing any1 on this blog has said anything that will play a role in what happens to snoop and yea i bought this albums and if any of his others have anysongs on them i like, i will buy them also.

lets see some of your worst faults so we can blog a typical person! leave the man alone, like i quoted at top ,its called individualism!you all talk like your saints!!

people who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw rocks!!!!

177. any publicity for a celeb ...is....good publicity...period....it puts them in the limelight and it doesn't hurt their fanfare...i mean look how paris' rep and roles in movies and "career" just exploded after the sex tape scandle and the no panties for her, brit-brit, and lindsey...its an old addage...any publicity is good publicity and its proven true over the years!

178. Sounds like plain old HARASSMENT from the pigs to me. They say they searched him as part of an investigation from the past, that's BS. And cops wonder why nobody stops to help them when they are getting their asses kicked on the side of the road.

179. It's his life let him live the way he wants too
