US rapper Snoop Dogg was briefly arrested by Swedish police on suspicion of using illegal drugs, police
sources said Sunday.
“Police carrying out roadside controls noticed that Snoop Dogg (whose car was pulled over) seemed to be
under the influence of narcotics. He was arrested and taken to the police station to take a urine test,” said
Daniel Nilsson, a police spokesman for the central Uppsala region.
The incident happened after the
celebrity rapper gave a concert in
the area on Saturday night.
“The incident lasted several
minutes. Once the test was carried
out he left,” Nilsson added.
The test results were not
immediately available.
It is far from the 43-year-old music
star’s first brush with the law.
Snoop Dogg’s song lyrics often
display his fondness for marijuana and he has previously had run-ins with police elsewhere over the drug.
