Snoop Detained in Sweden on Drugs Suspicion

Posted Mar 12th 2007 9:55AM by TMZ Staff

Snoop Dogg was held by police in Stockholm last night on suspicion of using illegal drugs, after police stopped him and he was "deemed to be under the influence of narcotics." TMZ spoke to a press officer in the Stockholm police department who said that Snoop -- real name Calvin Broaddus -- was "arrested;" Snoop's lawyer says that "Mr. Broaddus" was neither arrested nor charged.

The rapper was on his way to a party after his Sunday night concert with Diddy when, as a police spokesman told the AP, the car the rapper was riding in was stopped, and Snoop and "a female companion" were suspected of using drugs and were detained at a Stockholm police station.

"He underwent some tests that will now be sent away for analysis," said the spokesman. "In two to three weeks, we'll know if he was on something." Swedish cops didn't specify what narcotics may have been involved.

Sweden, which has some of Europe's strictest drug laws, has also spelled trouble for fellow musicians Pete Doherty and Axl Rose, who were both fined last year for various run-ins with the law. Snoop, for his part, was arrested three times last fall on drug and weapons infractions, all in the Los Angeles area.

18. That's crazy Justaham cuz I know a lot of Joe Schmo's that should be in jail for doing the same thing or worse than what Snoop does and you know what they aren't in jail either so I'm not sure where you get your information but maybe you need to get out of the house. or the whole that you live in!!!

25. I am so tired of people picking on Snoop dog. He was not hurting anyone.Just leave the guy alone.

26. What do you mean, leave him alone? This wasn't the states, it was Sweden, with the toughest drug laws, and NOT SUPRISINGLY, the highest standard of living in the world. They go out of their way to keep their beautiful country drug and scum free, and it shows. I'd love to live there.
It's no secret, so if you want to keep getting high, stay out of Sweden.
Keep the ghetto trash out of Scandinavia!!!!!

30. Well Pablo, let me say this about that. Given the opportunity, and with no legal ramifications, I'd like to line up Snoop, Fitty, Kayne West, Busta Rhymes, Ludie, and all these misreable hippity hop MTV slimeballs and kill them slowly with a maximum amount of pain. Then I'd like to dismember them and have the pieces arrested.

It is these animals that are, in some part, responsible for the destruction of a generation of happles inner city youth who think their gangsta ways are something to be proud of and mimic.
