Rapper Snoop Dogg was arrested in Texas this weekend after a drug-sniffing dog found marijuana on his tour bus. According to law enforcement, Snoop’s tour bus was stopped at a routine checkpoint in Sierra Blanca—the same town where country singer Willie Nelson was caught with weed in 2010. Authorities performed a standard inspection and found several joints inside a trash can on Snoop's bus, as well as a prescription bottle containing under a half-ounce of marijuana. Cops say that Snoop was cooperative and admitted that the pot belonged to him. He has a medical cannabis prescription that's valid in California, but found out the hard way that Texas has zero tolerance for marijuana use. Snoop received a citation and misdemeanor for drug possession and was then released. If convicted on the drug charge, he could face up to 180 days in jail.
