Snoop Dogg Detained in Norway for Possessing Marijuana and Big Bucks

OSLO, Norway (AP) - Norwegian media are reporting that Snoop Dogg was briefly detained in Norway after entering the country with marijuana and a large amount of cash.

Customs officials decline to confirm the report, saying only that an American artist entered Norway with a small amount of marijuana that was detected by a sniffer-dog. Norwegian law prevents law enforcement officials from naming suspects.

A customs officer who spoke on condition of anonymity said Thursday that the artist was also carrying more cash than is legally allowed and was subsequently fined 52,000 kroner ($8,600) for the violations.

Snoop Dogg was scheduled to perform Thursday at a musical festival in the southern town of Kristiansand.

The rapper, whose name is Calvin Broadus, has in the past been arrested on marijuana possession.

Shame that this will smudge his reputation for the rest of his life, simply because he made a small one time mistake. I wonder if they just "randomly" search him and his belongings everywhere he goes. I mean come on, at any given time he's probably carrying weed. You hardly need a dog or whatever to tell you to check him out. That said, let the man go, he's carrying it for personal use.
