Snoop Dogg Arraignment Postponed
Read 1073 Times Since Posted on 0000-00-00 Snoop Dogg's charges stem from a September incident at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California, where the infamous rapper was caught carrying a collapsible baton in his luggage. According to Snoop, the baton was a prop for a video he was filming in New York. Snoop (born Calvin Broadus) appeared at Monday's proceeding with three bodyguards and his defense attorney, Don Etra. According to Etra, the Long Beach rapper signed a waiver that will allow him to skip most "non-substantive" hearings. Etra declined to say whether Snoop knew the baton was banned. "It's premature to discuss what he knew," Etra said. "He had no intent to use it as a weapon and no intent to carry a weapon on his person." The arraignment will take place on January 24th. If convicted, Snoop could
face up to three years in prison, said Susan Schroeder, a spokeswoman for the
District Attorney. Snoop is currently awaiting two other arraignments. He is
expected to appear in court on December 12 to face gun and drug charges from
an October 26th arrest at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California. On January
11th, he will face another drug and gun charge from a November arrest outside
the NBC studios in Burbank.
