U.K. Lets Snoop Dogg Out Of The Pen

(CBS/AP) Snoop Dogg is out on bail after a brawl involving police at London's Heathrow Airport.

Attorney Peter Binning says no charges were filed, and although the rapper will have to return at a later date, he'll be able to honor his concert commitments in South Africa.

Police say seven British officers were hurt in a "disturbance" that broke out when the rap star and his party were denied access to a first class airport lounge. When the group was told it couldn't board the flight, police say some members of the party became abusive and shoved officers.

British Airways planned to fly Snoop Dogg - real name Calvin Broadus, 34 - to South Africa, but a spokesman says letters have been sent to the entire party telling them they're banned from all future travel on the airline.

London's Metropolitan Police said officers were called to "reports of a disturbance involving 30 people in a business lounge" at Terminal 1 of the busy airport on Wednesday.

When police told the group that they would not be allowed to board their flight, "a number of the group became abusive and pushed officers," a spokeswoman said on the force's customary condition of anonymity.

Six men were arrested on charges of violent disorder and affray and spent the night at London police stations. Police did not name the men, but said all were U.S. citizens in their 30s.

Seven officers received cuts, bruises and other minor injuries, the force said.

We should have sent him to one of our prisons - no cable TV there, mate. :)

I hope he gets the message and never comes back here. By the way, take that slapper Madonna off our hands while you're at it.

Regards, Ivan

Ping!

lol They should have thrown him into solitary-- no no, a cell with one of those charming young men from south London with a green mohawk and baby pins in his cheek.

right then- bend over skinny boy!

What is it with people getting away with hitting officers lately? Cynthia McKinney. A man who seriously calls himself "Snoop Dog."

Further, how did one of these officers get cut. That speaks of something far more than just a minor incident.

Snoop Dogg is out on bail

Glad the Dogg is out of his pen ........... I sort of like old Snoop.

Further, how did one of these officers get cut.

Maybe it was from the Durham stripper's fake fingernail.

I really don't understand the attraction to Snoop Dogg.

All I see is sleaze...

Some people like sleaze.

[driftdiver]

Evidently the police like it. If you or I got into a "near riot" and 7 police were injured I don't think they would let us out so we could go to work.

Special treatment.

Madonna? Sorry.......you're stuck with her.

puuuuulease...

Feeling a need in being PC this morning??

[beyond the sea]

lol ........ see #6.

Snoop Dogg is still alive? I thought he was dead.

"Glad the Dogg is out of his pen ........... I sort of like old Snoop."

He certainly has a sense of humor. ...for adults only, but just the same,...

[sit-rep]

Well, heres to hoping they have a stop in Somalia...

[beyond the sea]

From the interviews I have seen of him over the past years when he has been on the late night shows, I have always seen a pretty darn nice and thoughtful guy.

[libs_kma]

No way Ivan, you keep Madonna and Paltrow.

[rockabyebaby]

Glad the Dogg is out of his pen ........... I sort of like old Snoop.

So, because you sort of like him, his disgusting behavior should be excused? That's absurd and part of what's wrong with society, just because someone is cute or because he/she is liked doesn't mean they should get away with deviant behavior.

Nice and thoughtful. That's what I was thinking when I saw him on the red carpet of some awards show with two teen-aged girls in bondage gear, and darn nice Snoop had them walking on leashes hanging from dog collars. One girl was white, and I'm not sure about the other. I wish I could find a picture, but it was buried very deep, since darn nice Snoop was also promoting Chryslers with Lee Iaccoca at the time.

Calvin is one sick POS. Between the Wild On video, and the music, my guess is that he has a serious psycho sexual problem. Teen-aged girls on dogleashes...that sick creep.
