International music act and multi-platinum selling rapper Snoop Dogg faces a drug charge after US border agents searched and found drug substances on his tour bus along a west Texas highway.
The rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus Jr, ‘freely admitted’ that three prescription bottles filled with marijuana were his, a statement from the Hudspeth County, Texas, Sheriff said.
The incident happened early Saturday, 6 January, 2012, as his bus approached the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint located in Sierra Blanca, Texas, at the U.S.-Mexico border about 85 miles southeast of El Paso, the sheriff’s statement said.
A drug-detection dog sniffing inside the bus ‘alerted to a trash can located at the rear of the vehicle where a red prescription bottle containing rolled marijuana cigarettes were located’, the statement said. Two other containers with marijuana, weighing in all total of 0.130 pounds, were also found.
He was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia, given a court date of January 20 and released, the sheriff said.
Snoop Dogg has had a long history of marijuana use and advocacy and he is known to have a license to use prescription medical marijuana in California.
