Rapper Snoop Dogg is facing a minor drug charge in Texas after border agents say they found several joints on his tour bus.

Hudspeth County sheriff’s office said in a statement that Snoop Dogg, whose name is Calvin Broadus, was arrested Saturday at the Sierra Blanca highway checkpoint and cited for possession of drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor typical in cases involving small amounts of marijuana.

According to the sheriff’s office, a border agent smelled marijuana smoke coming from the bus and ordered everyone off so that a dog could inspect the vehicle. A prescription bottle with several marijuana cigarettes was found in a trashcan, and more marijuana was found in two other containers. In all, 0.13 pounds of the drug were found.

Broadus admitted the drug was his and was released, the sheriff’s office said.

Broadus’ agent didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. In interviews, the rapper has said he has a license to use medical marijuana in his home state of California because he suffers from migraines and blurred vision.

County Judge Becky Dean Walker says paraphernalia citations are typically handled by justices of the peace in the county and that they are resolved by a no contest plea and a mailed-in fine of up to $500.

Country singer Willie Nelson was arrested in November 2010 for marijuana possession at that same checkpoint.

Snoop Dogg says he didn’t hit a man with his microphone during a 2005 concert melee.

The rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, took the stand Monday afternoon in a civil trial. He is being sued by Richard Monroe Jr., who claims he was seriously hurt by Broadus and his security guards after he came onstage during a show near Seattle.

Broadus told jurors he didn’t hit Monroe with a brass knuckle microphone as the man contends.

He said Monroe had only himself to blame for his injuries and shouldn’t have come onstage.

Monroe testified Friday he thought he had been invited onstage. He sued the “Gin and Juice” rapper in 2006, seeking millions.

The rap star – who has just finished producing and performing on a Johnny Cash Remixed album – is open to experimenting with new styles of music and would happily collaborate with the 16-year-old singer, as well as pop trio the Jonas Brothers.

When asked if he would work with the Disney favourites, Snoop replied: “Hell yeah. We can make some gangsta pop music.”

Snoop performed at the Our World Live event at Hollywood’s Avalon nightclub last night and showed he has been inspired by working on the
country legend’s remix record.

Introducing ‘My Medicine’, his Johnny Cash inspired rap-infused country track, he said: “Country musicians are just like us. They smoke weed, get
drunk, talk s**t, go to jail. But they just wear the little hats.”

Eminem was rumoured to be joining Snoop at the show but pulled out because he was busy in the studio.
