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.

46. Snoop comes across to me of being a careless flawless repeat offender, who knows no other way to get the attention he seems to be so starved for. If breaking the law, and having drugs in his possession is his only way of getting this type of attention, then he needs to be just like the ordinary person on the street, and be convicted for it already!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Knows if it were me or the next person, it would have already happened.

WISE OLD OWL...........................................SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN

As Yakoff Smirnoff says, "What a country."

51. these people will always be the victims. That is the only way the will get any coverage. This is a fine black rollmodle and they will all rally to his defence and say "it the white mans fault this man needed to carry a gun".

52. I did some research, Ellis. Not very far at all. Actually, there is a hormone released in the brain during moments of.....well, have you ever seen a black do a really bad-ass slam-dunk, and then they start running back upcourt.....they start running hunched over, arms dangling precariously close to the ground and fixed in that "gorilla" pose, and the have that "ooh ooh ooh" neanderthal face....
Science. That hormone gets released in the moment of triumph, and they very momentarily revert to their roots. Very animalistic. It's scary....watch.

55. To Lenn K

Of course he's an unfit father. That's not news. The differnce beteewn his situation and Britney's is that Snoops kids have their mother with them on a full time basis and his children aren't new born infants!!!! Britney doesn't have Kevin. It's her responsibility to look after those children. She decided to become a young mother so she needs to take motherhood with all it's responsibilities. As a woman it's sickening to know that she would rather go out partying instead of being at home and taking care of her children. Why is she partying EVERY night? She gave up the 20's lifestyle as soon as she decided to be a young mom.

As for Snoop, I don't think he ever misrepresented himself. He's been that way from day one and even before he was famous so no surprises there!!!

To all those people saying that black people always cry fowl... the fact is alot of white people do the same thing as people like Snoop but they don't get caught because they don't get harrassed. When I was in school, all the people I knew that did drugs were the white ones. In fact, one of our classmates ended up in the East River... he was white and he was the supplier. So can we stop PRETENDING to be ignorant? We all know it's true.

How many of us will clutch our bags while walking down the street if we see someone black but don't do the same when we see someone white? How many of us see a white person running down the street and think "oh he's late" but if it's a black person we think "well what did he do this time?" I do it and i'm admitting it. I think we all need to look in the mirror.

57. To your mama

Please look for a remedial English class in your local area and sign up. The only thing worse than a "thugged out" rapper is an uneducated idiot.

58. Why is it our fault that when a black man walks bye we ALL ARE more cautious, the thing is , THAT THEY HAVE TO TAKE RESPONCIBILITY FOR CREATING THIS REACTION. THE JAILS DON'T LIE, MABEY A COUPLE TWO OR THREE HAVE BEEN RAILROADED, HOW DOES THAT ACCOUNT FOR 80% OF INMATES BEING BLACK. HELL MAN UP AND FACE THE TRUTH, THE cRAP CULTURE IS ABOUT BEING A CRIMINAL. SO, IF LADIES OF ALL COLORS WATCH THEIR PURCES WHEN A BLACK MAN WALKS BYE, WHY IS IT SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT THAT THE LADY HAS LEARNED TO BE PROTECTIVE OF HERSELF.

59. UNEDUCATED ARE YOUR THUG N*GGERS OF ALL COLORS THAT YOU RESPECT SO MUCH, THIS IS TYPICAL OF AN EDUCATED C**T WITH A BIG HEAD. SO LOOK DOWN YOUR NOSE AT SOMEONE ELSE YOU PERFACT WHORE, SO GET BACK ON THE CORNER AND SELL YOURSELF FOR 20 BUCKS K**T.
