Snoop Dogg Turns Himself In On Weapons Charge
Snoop Dogg has turned himself in to authorities at the Orange County Jail today on what the rapper’s attorney has called “bogus” charges.
The 35-year-old rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, has been booked on one felony count of possession of a deadly weapon filed after John Wayne International Airport security staff found a collapsible baton in his carry-on luggage.
During the Sept. 27 incident, Snoop informed the officers the baton was a prop for a movie.
The superstar is expected to post $150,000 bail, and can be sentenced to three years in prison if convicted.
Snoop’s spokesperson, Meredith O’Sullivan, said in a statement Monday that Snoop “welcomes an expedited trial which will reveal that these charges are completely unwarranted.”
As previously reported, the Doggfather is readying the release of Tha Blue Carpet Treatment.Â

There’s no such thing as a ” collapsible baton.”
If it’s collapsible, it’s aluminum.
Do white photographers get asked to check their expensive (non-aluminum) cameras in John Wayne Airport in “conservative”
Orange County, California.
Snoop should’ve known: after having made the main mistake — being unforgiveably black — he should’ve avoided Orange County.
Shame on those so-called cops.
