Snoop Dogg Arrested on Marijuana Charge

Snoop Dogg was arrested after border control agents found what they said was a small amount of marijuana on his tour bus.

The singer freely admitted the pot was his, according to a spokesman for the sheriff who arrested Dogg.

Bill Brooks, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said agents conducted a routine inspection of the rapper’s tour bus on at the U.S.- Mexico border checkpoint east of El Paso and thought they smelled marijuana.

“When our officers did a further inspection, they discovered a small amount of marijuana and turned him over to the Hudspeth County sheriff,” Brooks said.

The rapper was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia, released and given a January 20 court date, authorities said.

The rapper’s spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment on Monday.

Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister” is second with 4.3 million sold; the Top 5 includes Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” and B.o.B’s “Airplanes.”

Katy Perry’s ‘California Gurls’ Tops Billboard Hot 100 Chart

Katy Perry logs the fastest No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by an artist signed to Capitol Records in nearly 43 years, as “California Gurls,” featuring Snoop Dogg, rises 2-1 in its fourth week on the chart.

The song makes the quickest sprint to the summit by a Capitol single since Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billie Joe” likewise reached the top spot in four weeks on the chart dated Aug. 26, 1967. Five months before Gentry, the Beatles’ “Penny Lane” had also zipped to No. 1 in four frames.

Perry’s hit crowns the chart thanks in part to its selling 318,000 downloads (up 18%) in the chart’s tracking week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The cut leads Digital Songs for a third week.
