In an outcome akin to blaming the flowers for blooming, Texas police arrested Snoop Dogg for doing that which is inherent to Snoop Dogg—namely, challenging the local constabulary with his capriciousness. Also, for having weed, which police discovered hidden in a prescription bottle stashed in a wastebasket on Snoop Dogg’s tour bus during a standard border inspection, either through the use of drug-sniffing canines or by using basic assumptions regarding Snoop Dogg. He was handed a $537 misdemeanor possession charge and released. Incidentally, this all took place in Sierra Blanca, the exact same border patrol stop that previously arrested Willie Nelson for weed, and clearly the entry point into some sort of existential purgatory, where a man must answer to the crime of being himself.
