Snoop Dogg turned himself over to authorities in Orange County today and has been booked on one felony count of possession of a deadly weapon.
 
As SOHH previously reported, Snoop (whose real name is Calvin Broadus) was stopped at the John Wayne International Airport on September 27th when officers at the security checkpoint discovered a collapsible baton in his carry-on luggage. Snoop told sheriff’s deputies that the baton was a prop for a movie he’d been shooting.

Last week, on November 2 official charges were filed as a result of the incident and a warrant for Snoop’s arrest was also issued . Snoop voluntarily appeared at the Orange County Jail this morning for booking and the district attorney’s office expects that he will post $150,000 bail.
 
Snoop’s attorney Donald Etra has called the charge “bogus.” If convicted Snoop could be sentenced to as much as three years behind bars.
