Norwegian media are reporting that Snoop Dogg was
briefly detained in Norway 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.
A customs
officer who spoke on condition of anonymity said Thursday that the
artist was also carrying more cash than is legally allowed and was
subsequently 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.
The rapper, whose name is Calvin Broadus, has in the past been arrested on marijuana possession.
