Snoop Dogg was arrested yesterday (Oct. 26) at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, CA on suspicion of illegal drug and gun possession. According to reports, the rapper was stopped around 3:30 pm at a loading zone for a vehicle code violation. A search of the rapper’s vehicle produced a gun and an unknown amount of marijuana. Snoop was arrested and released shortly after posting $35,000 bail."There was no basis for this arrest," the rapper’s attorney, Donald Etra, told the Associated Press in a statement. "We believe that once this is cleared up, all charges will be dismissed." Snoop Dogg, 34, may face criminal charges from a separate airport incident last month, after airport officials found a 21 inch collapsible baton in one of his bags as he boarded a flight headed for New York.In May of 2005, Snoop was banned from British Airways, after he and five men were arrested in connection with a brawl in London’s Heathrow Airport. The altercation happened after people traveling with Snoop Dogg were denied entry to British Airways’ first-class lounge and begin brawling with airport security. Seven airport security guards were injured.
