How Many Times Has Snoop Dogg Been Arrested?

Publish date: 2024-05-05

According to The Age, in 1990, at the age of 19, Snoop Dogg caught a cocaine possession charge, as well as a charge for allegedly being a member of L.A. gang the Crips. Drug possession, especially if you're accused of trying to sell or distribute, can carry a hefty sentence, but it's not the most intense charge Snoop Dogg has ever faced. 

In 1993, the rapper and his bodyguard were each charged with first and second-degree murder, which stemmed from a drive-by shooting, per The Age. But they were acquitted of those charges in 1996, according to the Los Angeles Times. By the end of the '90s and middle of the 2000s, Snoop Dogg would see six more arrests (several on drug and firearm possession), an implication in a rape case (which was later dropped), and both a ban from the United Kingdom and a denial of entry into Australia. He'd also marry his high school sweetheart, Shante Taylor, and father four children.

It looks like Snoop Dogg caught his last arrest to date in 2012, per Reuters, on a marijuana possession charge. And, despite his many run-ins with law enforcement, he is still one of the most well-known and wealthiest rappers the world over, with an estimated net worth of $150 million.
