Snoop Dogg has been sentenced to 160 hours community service. The rapper, who pleaded guilty to one charge of possession of a dangerous weapon, also received three years probation and was ordered to donate $10,000 to charity as part of the plea bargain.
His lawyer, Donald Etra, said the felony conviction would be reduced to a misdemeanour after one year if Snoop does not violate the law. Etra said: "We are very pleased with the outcome. Snoop's goal is to make music, not make court appearances."
The hip-hop star was arrested last September after a collapsible baton was found in his luggage at Orange County's John Wayne Airport. It was classed as a dangerous weapon by the authorities, while Snoop claimed it was a prop for a video he was filming in New York and he did not realize it was a weapon.
