Rapper and producer Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., better known as Snoop Dogg, has a criminal record dating back to the early 1990s when he was a teenager.  During the 90’s Snoop Dog was arrested for possession of cocaine. Over the next three years he spent time in and out of prison.  In the late 90s and early 2000′s, Snoop had several brushes with the law, such as possession of marijuana and charges for being an accomplice to the murder of Phillip Woldermarian, but with savvy lawyers and a bank account to help with fines, he’s avoided doing any more hard time.  His latest issue with the law occurred in August 2003 when Snoop was named in an affidavit claiming that he and the makers of the “Girls Gone Wild: Doggy Style” tape lured two underage girls to take their tops off for the camera by offering them marijuana and ecstasy. The suit was settled in July 2004.
