Snoop Dogg turned himself in to Orange County, California, authorities on Monday (November 6), four days after he was charged with felony possession of a deadly weapon.

The rapper arrived at Orange County Jail in the morning and promptly posted $150,000 bail, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.

The charge stems from a September 27 arrest in which security at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana found a collapsible baton in his carry-on luggage that the rapper said was a prop for a video.

If convicted, Snoop could be sentenced to three years in prison. However, his attorney, Donald Etra, is confident his client will be found innocent (see [article id="1544787"]"Snoop Charged With Possession Of Deadly Weapon; Felony Warrant Issued"[/article]).

A spokesperson for the rapper was equally optimistic. "[Snoop] welcomes an expedited trial which will reveal that these charges are completely unwarranted," the spokesperson said in a statement.

In a separate incident last month, Snoop was arrested outside Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California, for investigation of illegal drug and gun possession (see [article id="1544216"]"Snoop Dogg Arrested For Drug, Gun Possession At Airport"[/article]). He posted $35,000 bail and is ordered to appear in court on December 12.

A court date for the Orange County charges has not been set.
