Snoop Dogg was arrested on suspicion of illegal drug and gun possession last Thursday at Bob Hope Airport in Burban, California.
Officers stopped the rapper at a loading zone for a vehicle code violation around 3:30 pm. While searching his car they found an unknown quantity of marijuana and a gun.
The 34-year-old was taken in and charged with possession. After posting $35,000 bail, he was released later that day.
Speaking about the incident, Snoop's attorney, Donald Etra, said: "There was no basis for this arrest. We believe that once this is cleared up, all charges will be dismissed."
Last month, Snoop was caught with a 21-inch collapsible baton in his luggage as he boarded a flight at John Wayne International Airport in Orange County, California.
The rapper claimed innocence, saying the baton was nothing but a movie prop. It's still unknown whether he will face charges for it.
