Rapper-actor Snoop Dogg was arrested on Thursday at the Burbank airport near Los Angeles after police found a gun and marijuana in his car.

The superstar rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, was stopped by police for leaving his car too long in the passenger loading area of the airport, reports Burbank police spokesman Kevin Grandalski.

Snoop, 35, was booked and released on $35,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.

He is also facing another possible charge in Orange County, just south of Los Angeles, for attempting to bring a collapsible police baton on a flight to New York last month. Snoop was stopped by security staff at John Wayne airport about the baton, which the rapper said was a prop for a video he was to make in New York.

Snoop Dogg has a previous conviction for the possession of cocaine.
