    Snoop Dogg busted in Norway with marijuana, cash

    Associated Press – Thu, Jun 28, 2012

    OSLO, Norway (AP) — Norwegian media are reporting that Snoop Dogg was briefly detained in Norway after entering the country with marijuana and a large amount of cash.

    Customs officials decline to confirm the report, saying only that an American artist entered Norway with a small amount of marijuana that was detected by a sniffer-dog. Norwegian law prevents law enforcement officials from naming suspects.

    A customs officer who spoke on condition of anonymity said Thursday that the artist was also carrying more cash than is legally allowed and was subsequently fined 52,000 kroner ($8,600) for the violations.

    Snoop Dogg was scheduled to perform Thursday at a musical festival in the southern town of Kristiansand.

    The rapper, whose name is Calvin Broadus, has in the past been arrested on marijuana possession.

      Ultimately, many of the photos and cellphone records of Trayvon Martin released online Thursday by George Zimmerman’s defense attorneys – indicating that the slain teenager smoked marijuana, got into fights at school, and had an interest in, and perhaps access to, guns – may be ruled inadmissible in court.
