The rapper was arrested on his way to a party following a concert in Stockholm. Police stopped the vehicle he was riding in about 1:30 a.m. on Monday, and said both Snoop Dogg and the female he was with showed signs of drug use and being under the influence of narcotics.
In addition, there was a small amount of drugs found in the vehicle, but it was unclear what kind of drug is was and if it belonged to the rapper. Police have stated that Snoop Dogg underwent drug tests, and the results will be known in a couple of weeks. He was released around 5 a.m. and could now face a fine if the test return with a positive result.
The rapper had performed with P. Diddy at a concert inn Stockholm's Globe Arena on Sunday. His arrest in Sweden comes as the latest music star to have trouble with the law in the country – including Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty and Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose.
