Snoop facing jail time on weapons charges

[Rukas]

Snoop Dogg turned himself over to authorities in Orange County today and has been booked on one felony count of possession of a deadly weapon.

Snoop (whose real name is Calvin Broadus) was stopped at the John Wayne International Airport on September 27th when officers at the security checkpoint discovered a collapsible baton in his carry-on luggage. Snoop told sheriff's deputies that the baton was a prop for a movie he'd been shooting.

Last week, on November 2 official charges were filed as a result of the incident and a warrant for Snoop's arrest was also issued . Snoop voluntarily appeared at the Orange County Jail this morning for booking and the district attorney's office expects that he will post $150,000 bail.

Snoop's attorney Donald Etra has called the charge "bogus." If convicted Snoop could be sentenced to as much as three years behind bars.

how insanely ignorant lol. this is bullshit. when you're a celebrity, you face as much jail time as normal people. it's just that most celebs are rich and can actually afford a decent lawyer, lawlerstorm.

IF snoop goes to jail for this, it's probably gonna be after his album drops anyway (if it drops this month). but if he's not gonna be able to do any promotion then i guess that wouldn't be too good for the album.

it really is fucking bogus tho to get 3 years for carrying a baton in your carry-on lol. wtf. if i bust someone's eye i get ten days, if i really fuck them up i get a month max. 3 years for a fucking baton?

which leads me to another question. why in the fuck would a guy like snoop try and sneak a baton onto an airplane anyway? in case someone tried to stick him up right there on the plane and his crew of bodyguards were somehow immediately immobilized? lol. listen snoop, while it looks superduper cool to play with a foldable baton on the airplane, a grown man should fucking know better lol.

He's got the money now to buy rich mans justice, but it does make me wonder why snoop has to bring props to a movie set? Dont they have people that do that for the actors?
