U.K. Lets Snoop Dogg Out Of The Pen

Rapper Makes Bail And Heads To South Africa

(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.
