"&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt=\"Snoop Dogg arrested\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/01/09/0109-snoop-exd-01.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snoop Dogg&lt;/strong&gt; isn't the only canine with a nose for weed ... TMZ has learned the rapper was ARRESTED in Texas this weekend after a drug-sniffing dog uncovered marijuana on his tour bus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Law enforcement sources tell us ... Snoop's tour bus was stopped at a border patrol checkpoint in &lt;strong&gt;Sierra Blanca&lt;/strong&gt; -- a small town in West Texas where &lt;strong&gt;Willie Nelson&lt;/strong&gt; was &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/11/26/willie-nelson-arrested-busted-marijuana-pot-texas/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;popped for weed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; back in 2010. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's all pretty ironic -- considering Snoop &lt;strong&gt;RAILED against cops&lt;/strong&gt; in 2010 for arresting the country singer, claiming, \"They better leave Willie the f**k alone.\" (&lt;em&gt;video below&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; {{tmz_video_0}} &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're told the border patrol ran a standard inspection of the bus with the dog ... when the animal alerted the agents to a possible hit in a waste basket in the back of the vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The agents claim they found a red prescription bottle with several joints inside. We're told the bottle contained under a half-ounce of weed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cops say Snoop admitted the dope belonged to him. Snoop has a prescription for cannabis in California, but law enforcement tells us, there is a zero tolerance policy for weed in Texas ... regardless of his status in other states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snoop was issued a citation for misdemeanor drug possession and released.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attempts to reach the rapper's rep were unsuccessful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/08/09/update-bar.jpg\" alt=\"update_bar\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1:25PM PT&lt;/strong&gt;: The Justice of the Peace in Hudspeth County, TX tells TMZ, Snoop can resolve the entire matter by paying a $537 fine ... unless he wants to challenge the citation, in which case he can make his case in court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2009/05/26/1891-whatcha-smokin\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/08/02/0728-whatcha-smokin-footer-v2.jpg\" alt=\"0728_whatcha_smokin_footer_v2\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;See also&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/06/the-unit-jersey-shore-drug-charge-special-k/\"&gt;'Jersey Shore' The Unit -- Charged with Drug Possession, Hedges on Guilt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2011/12/24/amber-portwood-arrest-report-drugs/\"&gt;'Teen Mom' Amber Portwood -- Police Report Reveals a Slew of Prescription Pills&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2011/12/15/lean-on-me-actor-jermaine-huggy-hopkins-marijuana/\"&gt;'Lean On Me' Actor Jermaine Hopkins -- Arrested for Trying to Buy 200 POUNDS of Weed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More Today in TMZ History&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://www.tmz.com/photos/2007/05/09/39-celebrity-mug-shots\"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;\n&lt;ul class=\"ul1\"&gt;\n&lt;li class=\"li2\"&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/08/brittany-murphy-911-tape/\"&gt;Brittany Murphy 911 Tape Released&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li class=\"li2\"&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2012/01/07/chaz-bono-penis/\"&gt;Chaz Bono Saves Up to Buy Penis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;li class=\"li2\"&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2011/01/05/oksana-grigorieva-mel-gibson-sex-impotence-beating-violence-domestic-deposition-oath/\"&gt;Oksana Claims Mel Beat Her During Sex&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;\n&lt;/ul&gt;\n&lt;/div&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
