Norwegian media say that Snoop was briefly detained 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, reports the AP.
A customs officer who spoke on condition of anonymity said Thursday that the Compton rapper was also carrying more cash than is legally allowed and was 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.
Snoop, whose name is Calvin Broadus, has a history of being busted for marijuana possession.
