Two associates of Snoop Dogg have been arrested after police stopped the rapper's tour bus en route to a concert in Dallas.

Ethan Calhoun, 27, and Kevin Barkey, 26, were both charged with marijuana possession after police found two ounces of the drug.

A police spokesperson said members of a commercial vehicle inspection team had pulled the bus over in Corsicana because it's registration sticker had expired.

A drugs search was instigated after inspectors smelt marijuana, according to the Associated Press.

Snoop Dogg, who was not arrested in the incident, went on to perform at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas last night (July 31st).
