Snoop Dogg arrested with marijuana charges and more.

PASADENA, California (AP) -- Snoop Dogg was charged Tuesday with felony gun and drug counts, Los Angeles County prosecutors said.

The 35-year-old rap star was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Pasadena, California, prosecutors said in a statement.

Snoop Dogg faces charges of gun possession by a felon and sale or transportation of marijuana.

He was first arrested October 26 by Burbank police at Bob Hope Airport on suspicion of transportation of a controlled substance. Burbank police later discovered a gun at his home.

If convicted, he faces up to four years in state prison.

"These were changes we fully expected," said Snoop Dogg's attorney Donald Etra. "They will be dealt with in court tomorrow. The matter will be resolved tomorrow."

The rapper was convicted in 1990 of cocaine possession and charged with gun possession after a 1993 traffic stop. He pleaded guilty in exchange for three years' probation and a promise to make public service announcements against violence.

The rapper's manager, Constance Schwartz, said there would be no comment Tuesday but a written statement would be issued Wednesday.

Despite the fact me not listening or supporting the hip hop/rap industry (more of a metal head :thumbsup:), i've always liked Snoop Dogg, and I guess this news has come to a shock.

I doubt anything will happen though...

Exactly the same as me. i'm a metal head too and dont like rap - apart from snoop.

i like rap and snoops the man,he will be cool with his money:thumbsup:

I like rap, but I don't like Snoop Dogg. His older stuff is better, and I think his best rapping was in Dr. Dre's The Chronic. Anyway, although I don't like him, I'd never wish him to be arrested for possession. That sucks!

publicity stunt to sell more records. he is trying to regain his credibility.

celebs will get away with drugs easily e.g. pete doherty, but a gun.. I don't know.

Man he has money, he's not going to prison lol.

He's actually just being arraigned today. He got arrested for those charges in October. He's been arrested for possession of weed, coke, and guns 3 times in the last year. That's nothing though for his status. They'll just throw him on probation and have him do some PSA's or something.

He's still a good guy in the end, makes appearances for violence and shit. I know he talks about it in his songs, but he's just a reporter letting you know what really goes on. You wouldn't get mad at a reporter on the news for saying those things. He seems like a pretty good father too from what I've seen. He just likes to party a bit too much I guess!

And this is no publicity stunt, come on. He's probably worth $100 million at least. He doesn't need to do another thing his whole life, he's just been in it for the love of the music for the past few years. And as far as credibility, he's Snoop for God's sake, he'll never lose it...he was obviously a better MC back in the day, but his last album was undoubtedly one of his best.

He smokes alot of weed - he's good.

double dizzle in the hizzle

he always gets arrested and has weed on him, when does snoop not have weed with him?? i mean hes snoop dogg... haha.. he always is smokin blunts in vids and everytime you see him.. haha i went to a snoop dogg concert and he always had a blunt in his hand..

snoop is a studio gangster
he is not as hard as he makes himself out to be
he surrounds himself with people he wants to be like

with that said i like the way he raps
he is good with words and flow

the one thing that trips me out about snoop
is that he is a coach of a football team and
he always is with his kids. and hes always high
what if snoop wasnt famous.
would it be ok to let your kids be around all that
would you mind if the person responsible for mentoring
your kids has been charged with some crazy shit like shooting a person,
selling and using hard drugs like rock and pcp.
who makes adult movies and smokes weed all day
and is constantly surrounded by homeboys and pitbulls

i like that shit for myself but for my lil ones id rather keep em away
