A year long probe by The California Department of Corrections resulted in the firing of four state parole agents who were moonlighting as security guards for Snoop Dogg. The controversy erupted when it was discovered that three of the four officers state parole agents were part of a heavily armed entourage escorting Snoop during last year’s BET Awards. The fourth officer was dismissed because he was working for Snoop while collecting disability from the state. Police stopped Snoop’s bulletproof SUV and noticed the guards were heavily armed. Later, a search of the SUV turned up weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Eight other officers who worked in the Inglewood Unified School District have already been fired due to their association with Snoop. According to reports, one was wounded by gunfire while escorting the rapper. Officials expect the fired officers to appeal the decision.
