Snoop Dogg has denied he was arrested for drug possession in Sweden on Sunday night (11.03.07).

The rapper, who was stopped by police on his way to a party in Stockholm, claims he was only questioned by police before being released without charge.

Snoop's representative said: "Contrary to erroneous press reports, Snoop Dogg was not arrested in Sweden.

"He was questioned and released with no charges filed. He is excited to continue his successful co-headlining European tour with P Diddy."

The 35-year-old rapper was reportedly deemed to be "under the influence of narcotics".

Duty sergeant Matt Brannlund said: "He was arrested for use of narcotics. It's illegal in Sweden to use them, even to have it in your system. Police suspected he had taken drugs."

Snoop allegedly underwent a series of tests and the results are due in two to three weeks.

If the tests confirm there were drugs in his system, he could face a means-tested fine.

A small amount of narcotics were found in the car, but police didn't specify which type of drug and said it was unclear if they belonged to Snoop.
