Norwegian media are reporting that Snoop Dogg was briefly detained in Norway after entering the country with marijuana and a large amount of cash.

Customs officials decline to confirm the report, saying only that an American artist entered Norway with a small amount of marijuana that was detected by a sniffer-dog.

Norwegian law prevents law enforcement officials from naming suspects.

A customs officer who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the artist was also carrying more cash than is legally allowed and was subsequently fined 8,600 dollars for the violations.
