MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Dr. Dre has been cited after a man says the rapper pointed a handgun at him.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says the man told them he was parked outside a Malibu, California, home when Dre ordered him to leave and showed a gun.

Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, told sheriff's deputies he didn't have a gun and that the man was blocking his driveway. He says the man moved his car but parked nearby. He says the man drove off after Dre recorded video of him.

Of course no gun was located. He's got lots of bucks to make it disappear.

The alternative is maybe it was a bizarre fan seeking to cause a hassle and/or shake the rapper down for cash.
One wonders what did the video reveal once shown to the police>

Parking spaces in Malibu are premium real estate.

Where is the proof of his having a gun?? In cal where the perp is given every possible avenue of doubt, I guess not in a potential gun case. Even if he did have a gun, I am not a rap lover BTW, I would not want anyone infringing on my safety or privacy either.

Some people get overly picky about who is parked in front of their house, forgetting that the street is public property. That said, how do you get cited on a gun charge when none found or admitted to? A nuisance charge that will be dropped before court? Seems like some details missing on the report.

If laws meant anything, he would be in prison for 10 years just like the avg Joe.

They’ve got a witness. Don’t need a body to charge you with murder if someone saw you do it... same principle applies here.

Don’t you mean according to Dr Dre? I know someone of the same general background as Dr Dre who gets livid if you park in front of his house. Like confronting a 100 lb pregnant woman livid. Like roid rage livid. Like deny any aggression when the cops show up livid.

He said, she said. Like the gun, where’s the proof? And the driver did not, by reports, get cited.
