Video Snoop Dogg Collared Rapper Snoop Dogg and members of his entourage were arrested at London's Heathrow Airport on April 27. A total of six men, including Snoop, were being held on suspicion of violent disorder and affray.
The rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, had the baton in his laptop case as he went through a security checkpoint at John Wayne International Airport on Sept. 27, sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said.
Snoop Dogg, 35, told sheriff's deputies that the baton was a prop for a movie he was filming in New York, Amormino said.
"He had a collapsible baton and it is classified as a dangerous weapon," Amormino said, adding that the stick collapsed to eight inches.
District attorney spokeswoman Susan Kang Schroeder said her office received the sheriff's report on Monday. She said prosecutors had not yet decided whether to charge Snoop Dogg, who was not arrested.
It wasn't the first time the rapper has had a problem at an airport.
In May, Snoop Dogg and five other men were arrested on charges of violent disorder and starting a brawl after some members of the rapper's party were denied entry to British Airways' first-class lounge in London. British Airways has banned Snoop Dogg from future travel on the airline, it said last month.
