Snoop Dogg, 35, was arrested on suspicion of illegal drug and gun possession, the Associated Press reports.
 
The rapper-turned-actor (born Calvin Broadus), was arrested Thursday afternoon at Bob Hope Airport, police said. He posted $35,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court December 12.
 
Airport police officers stopped Snoop Dogg at a loading zone for a vehicle code violation. When officers searched the vehicle they found a gun and marijuana, police said.
 
"There was no basis for this arrest," the rapper's attorney, Donald Etra, said in a statement. "We believe that once this is cleared up, all charges will be dismissed."
 
The Orange County district attorney's office is also considering charges against Snoop after authorities discovered a 21-inch collapsible baton in his bags as he was boarding a New York-bound flight from John Wayne International Airport last month.
 
In 1990, the rapper was convicted in of cocaine possession, and three years later was charged with gun possession during a traffic stop. He was acquitted of murder in 1996 after an alleged gang member was killed by gunfire from a vehicle in which Snoop Dogg was a passenger.
