Snoop Dogg Pleads Guilty, Gets Community Service

Snoop Dogg pled guilty yesterday to one count of felony possession of a dangerous weapon and was sentenced to 160 hours of community service, three years’ probation, and ordered to pay a $10,000 charitable donation.

Snoop was arrested last September after the discovery of a collapsible baton in his computer bag at John Wayne Airport in Orange County. Despite his attempt to argue that it was a prop for a video he was filming in New York, authorities deemed the baton a dangerous weapon.

Snoop’s attorney, Donald Etra, said the felony conviction would be reduced to a misdemeanor after one year if he doesn’t violate the law.

“We are very pleased with the outcome,” Etra said. “Snoop’s goal is to make music, not make court appearances.

“He wants to get on with his life. He will continue his music and his filming and performing.”
