Snoop Dogg arrested after TV appearance in LA

LOS ANGELES Nov 30 (Reuters) Another day, another run-in with the law for Snoop Dogg.

The 35-year-old rapper was arrested near Los Angeles on Tuesday on weapons and narcotics charges after taping a performance at "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" -- his third bust in as many months.

A spokesman for the Burbank Police Department said authorities executed a search warrant as Snoop Dogg and a posse of friends and bodyguards were leaving the NBC studio. The roadside stop shut down traffic for hours, according to news reports.
