Rapper Snoop Dogg , whose real name is Calvin Broadus, reportedly was arrested at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, CA, Thursday afternoon (10/26) on drug- and weapon-possession charges.

According to the Los Angeles Times, police approached Broadus for an unspecified "vehicle code violation" while his car was parked in a loading zone, and officers "said they soon discovered a gun and marijuana in his vehicle."

He was charged on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a gun, and suspicion of transporting marijuana. Broadus was freed after posting a $35,000 bond, and is due in court on Dec. 12.

Just last month, the rapper was arrested after he allegedly tried to take a collapsible police baton onto an airplane at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, CA.
