The rapper was arrested over the weekend after a drug-sniffing police dog found less than half an ounce of marijuana in a waste basket, according to reports. The bus was stopped at a border-control checkpoint in Sierra Blanca — the same town where Willie Nelson was busted for weed in Snoop was cited on a misdemeanor drug possession and released.
If convicted, he could face up to days in jail. The rapper has been arrested on other occasions for possession of marijuana and, in some cases, weapons possession, including firearms and a police baton. Snoop Dogg performs at the Wiltern in Los Angeles. The rapper still faces charges from an incident at John Wayne Airport in September, when a collapsible police baton was found in his computer bag.
A hearing will be held May 15, Etra said. In February , Dogg and his bodyguard, McKinley Lee, were acquitted of murder charges in the August shooting death of a young man in a Palms park.

That created a different industry, which made the industry more of a Black-owned industry. A version of this story first appeared in the July 16 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Click here to subscribe.
