Snoop Dogg turned himself over to authorities in Orange County today and has been booked on one felony count of possession of a deadly weapon.
Snoop (whose real name is Calvin Broadus) was stopped at the John Wayne International Airport on September 27th when officers at the security checkpoint discovered a collapsible baton in his carry-on luggage. Snoop told sheriff's deputies that the baton was a prop for a movie he'd been shooting.
Last week, on November 2 official charges were filed as a result of the incident and a warrant for Snoop's arrest was also issued. Snoop voluntarily appeared at the Orange County Jail this morning for booking and the district attorney's office expects that he will post $150,000 bail.
Snoop's attorney Donald Etra has called the charge "bogus." If convicted Snoop could be sentenced to as much as three years behind bars.
