Rapper held on gun, drug charges following ?Tonight Show? appearance

BURBANK, Calif. - Snoop Dogg was arrested Tuesday for investigation of illegally possessing a handgun and drugs as he left NBC Studios after performing on ?The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,? police said.

The 35-year-old rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, and two members of his entourage were arrested around 6 p.m. after a search of his Diamond Bar home and car, Sgt. Kevin Grandalski said.

Police seized a handgun and some illegal drugs, Grandalski said. He did not have details.

The sergeant said the rapper was arrested for investigation of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, possessing cocaine, transporting marijuana and having a false compartment in his vehicle, Grandalski said.

?He was in a car pulling out of the studio? when police stopped him, said Donald Etra, the rapper?s attorney.

Etra said he believed Broadus was booked at the jail for investigation of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He made bail of $60,000 and was released shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, about seven hours after his arrest.

?As of this point, he stands innocent of all charges,? Etra said. ?The goal tonight was to get him out of jail. The goal tomorrow is to deal with the case.?

The rapper was expected to be arraigned on Jan. 11, Etra said.

Two acknowledged gang members who are associates of Broadus also were taken into custody, Grandalski said.

Michael Mingo, 33, of Lakewood, was arrested for investigation of possessing burglary tools and Lovell Polk, 36, of Moreno Valley, was arrested for an outstanding warrant, Grandalski said. He did not know the nature of the warrant.

The arrests stemmed from an investigation that followed the rapper?s Oct. 26 arrest at Bob Hope Airport here after airport police said they found a gun and marijuana in his car, Grandalski said.

?Additional follow-up investigation led detectives to obtaining the search warrant,? the sergeant said. He did not have details.

No charges have been filed in that case but Broadus has a Dec. 12 court appearance for an arraignment.

Etra said the rapper also has a Dec. 4 arraignment in Orange County following his Sept. 27 arrest for investigation of carrying a deadly weapon at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana.

Security officers said they found a collapsible baton in the entertainer?s carry-on luggage. The rapper told deputies at the time of his arrest that the baton was a prop for a movie.

The rapper was convicted in 1990 of cocaine possession and was charged with gun possession after a 1993 traffic stop. Facing a possible three years in prison, he pleaded guilty in exchange for three years? probation and his promise to make anti-violence public service announcements.

He was acquitted of murder in 1996 following the death of an alleged street gang member killed by gunfire from the vehicle in which he was traveling.

Weed and a Gun! <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Say it ain't so snoop. <img src="/images/graemlins/rolleyes1.gif" alt="" />

LOL

why would you bring a gun to the tonight show LOL?

even weed

that snoop is a charector lol

Everyone should have goals in life..... <img src="/images/graemlins/saywhat.gif" alt="" />

Yeah,being a "convicted felon" to start with? I think cocaine and guns are kind of taboo.

<img src="/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" />

His name is SUGE"i'll beat your arse" KNIGHT.... <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Weed, ok

Guns ok

Weed and Guns, pushing it.

Weed, guns, and cocain? Totally out of control.


lol, I guess the cocain is where I start hating.

hate hate hate

A hater?
No,but I promote common sense.
When you're a convicted felon,who's RICH,you pay others to carry guns FOR YOU!
<img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

If you're going to smoke weed or do cocaine? Have someone carry it around FOR YOU. To posess these things "yourself" knowing you're a convicted felon when you have "options" is simply not using your head IMO

That more like it. Convicted Felons aren't allowed to possess firearms.

His head was probably in a "cloud of smoke" <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />(maybe, purple haze,AK-47,CHRONIC, bubblegum, white widow,....etc;etc....... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)

Which is unusual for Snoop... he's usually so smart about things... <img src="/images/graemlins/rolleyes1.gif" alt="" />

`What does bubble gum and widows have to do with anything?
<img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

j/k

<img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

In case Leno's chin attacks???

So I see it's ok for someone to convict Snoop Dogg without a trial, but if someone does it about a microwaved baby, that's wrong?

Not that it matters though, I just had to get my shot back, even though I did a better job of "walking the line" in that thread, then you did in this one bud... <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Oh,I'm not hanging him out to dry or promoting he be hung or anything. He just needs to think a little bit.
<img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Why can't he be a homocide victim ? Save the judicial system a ton of work.

I'm sure I'll get jumped on for this, but: living the kind of life he is, he probably will be a statistic before long.

And what's worse is, what kind of lifestyle is he promoting to the youth? Why the hell go to college, when you can live a style like he's got, right? Too many kids think that way.

But, sad to say, again, "snoop" has no problem taking the money from his "fans", does he? He lives pretty damn high on the hog, at the expense of who?..........

Snoop actually isn't that bad of a guy.

Snoop Dogg coaches son's football team
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) ? To his fans, he's a pioneering rap artist, to authorities who have tangled with him, he's a felon. But to players and parents in the Orange County Junior All America Football League, he's just coach Dogg.
"Teaching kids is something fun," said Snoop Dogg, who watched Saturday night as his son's Rowland Heights Raiders defeated the Huntington Beach Dolphins 18-0.

"I give them a lot of strength and vision," added the rapper, who is a former football player and who attended a clinic to become certified as a coach.

"I am falling in love with these kids," he added.

Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, made a name for himself rapping about street violence, gangs, sex and marijuana, and in 1990 he was convicted of possessing cocaine for sale. Earlier this year, someone shot at a convoy he was traveling in, and he arrived at Saturday's game surrounded by six bodyguards.

But parents and players alike said they were impressed with Snoop's dedication to his 8- to 10-year-old charges.

Dolphins team mom Jennifer Gutierrez won't let her son listen to Snoop's music, but is happy to see him at the games.

"I think it's great that he does this for his kid," she said

I saw a thing about Snoop coaching his sons team and all... must be nice to make a phone call or two and have a host of NFL players show up at practice... not a lot of coaches can pull that off for the kids... <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

But the fact remains that he's totin' guns and carrying weed and coke... is that the kind of guy you want coaching your kids team?

If he does a good job? Yes.

I've seen every-Sunday-church-goers fail at getting through to kids where degenerate alcoholics succeed...

What do you mean by good job? Winning games? There's a huge responsibility in coaching young children. You are a role model as a coach and have a huge responsibility.....it's a proven fact that most kids remember coaches more than they remember their teachers.

I coach youth hockey (7-8 at the time), and one time during a game I said "B...S...." under my breath (or so I thought). One of the kids looked up at me after a questionable call and said, "that's b... s... too". After the game, I sat the team down, explained myself and apologized to them and the parents. I felt I really let them down.

You can't honestly say you'd want some gun totin' druggie coaching your own children, would you?

J, you are a real coach. I applaud you for your actions. ANYONE that would say they want a guy that is not only a felon, but using illegal drugs and carrying an illegal firearm around coaching kids is either spouting off to stir the pot or just a leftwing nutjob.

There is no way anyone involved in such activity should be allowed to be in a position to influence young children. Period. End of discussion.

Phil this may be true for reformed felons... for those who made mistakes, learned from them, and are sharing the experience with young people so that they may learn... but we aren't talking about a REFORMED felon. We are talking about a guy who was a felon and is still committing felonies every day by carrying guns and drugs.

And yea, he may reach one kid... and I'm sure there would be a big expose on ET about how a kid avoided drugs because Snoop told him to... what they won't show is the 50 other kids who know of Snoops gangbanging image and see his fancy clothes and his fancy car and the way he can't put a cognitive sentence together and think it's really cool and decide to follow the example... no, we won't see them at all.

<img src="/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/rofl.gif" alt="" /> Depends on your definition of bad does it not? This douchebag needs to go away for a long time .

Using drugs doesn't necessarily make you a "druggie."

I use drugs, but don't allow them to interfere with my life. I still manage a 3.0 gpa. Nothing wrong with it. I know several people who have degrees and jobs that still get high--it's not that bad.

Just cause Snoop uses drugs doesn't make him a bad person.

Also, carrying a gun--more power to him, if I was a celebrity I'd be packing. Especially if I was a rapper--rappers get harassed and shot at all the time--so it would be a smart move to have some personal protection. People just demonize snoop because they are jealous of the success that he has achieved being a hood.

They "demoralize" him because he is a freakin convicted felon who continues his stupidity. The moron deserves nothing but contempt, ridicule and a lenghty prison sentence followed by a reversal of fortune and end by having him back in the ghetto penniless...no wait..that would mean he would be back on welfare...scratch that last thought. Again...why can't this P.O.S. end up a homocide victim ? There is always hope.

Now there is a glowing endorsement for why I'd want him standing in the middle of a big open field 4 feet from my child.... <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Personally, I think it's jsut that - 'image'. I know the guy has a laundry list, but as far as I know, he has claimed to be a member of both the Crips and Bloods, but according to his friends and family growing up, he was a skinny little, quiet kid who kept to himself. Snoop, of course, denies this...who knows...but I think he's more bark than bite. I laugh when I hear the portrayal of Snoop as a 'thug' or 'gang banger'. I personally don't care if he does weed or coke, or has guns. I'll agree with Pit that it's idiotic not to have handlers for those things, but, yes, if a guy was clean and ready to go on Saturday, doing his job and teaching the kids...I don't care if he puts candy up his nose or smokes dope. I can certainly see where others would. JMHO.

That dude is an idiot.........prevoking violence will never get ya anywhere good! <img src="/images/graemlins/plthumbsdown.gif" alt="" />
