Snoop Dogg had just wrapped up an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and was pulling out of the studio's parking lot when he was stopped and arrested for investigation of illegally possessing a handgun and drugs, police said.
The 35-year-old rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, and two members of his entourage were arrested around 6 p.m. Tuesday after a search of his Diamond Bar home and car, Sgt. Kevin Grandalski said.
Police seized a handgun and some illegal drugs, Grandalski said. He did not have details.
OUT ON BAIL
He made bail of $60,000 and was released shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, about seven hours after his arrest.
"As of this point, he stands innocent of all charges," said Donald Etra, the rapper's attorney. "The goal tonight was to get him out of jail. The goal tomorrow is to deal with the case."
The rapper was expected to be arraigned on Jan. 11, Etra said.
ALSO ARRESTED
Two acknowledged gang members who are associates of Broadus also were taken into custody, Grandalski said.
Michael Mingo, 33, of Lakewood, was arrested for investigation of possessing burglary tools and Lovell Polk, 36, of Moreno Valley, was arrested for an outstanding warrant, Grandalski said. He did not know the nature of the warrant.
DOGG'S TROUBLED PAST
— Oct. 26: Arrested at Bob Hope Airport after airport police said they found a gun and marijuana in his car, Grandalski said. No charges have been filed in that case but Broadus has a Dec. 12 court appearance for an arraignment.
— Sept. 27: Arrested for investigation of carrying a deadly weapon at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana. Etra said the rapper has a Dec. 4 arraignment in Orange County.
— 1990: Convicted of cocaine possession.
— 1993: Charged with gun possession after a traffic stop. Facing a possible three years in prison, he pleaded guilty in exchange for three years' probation and his promise to make anti-violence public service announcements.
— 1996: Acquitted of murder in 1996 following the death of an alleged street gang member killed by gunfire from the vehicle in which he was traveling. | Only registered users can write comments.

Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
