First, the good folks at TMZ brought us a Paris Hilton picture of the drunken heiress in handcuffs. It made us smile.

Now that reliable website has obtained a photo of a cuffed Snoop Dogg, snapped moments after cops found a gun and marijuana inside his vehicle at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank last week.

It makes us sad.

Poor Snoop seemed to be on the right track in movies such as Old School and Starsky and Hutch. But alas.

This arrest came just days before the Orange County District Attorney's Office fashizzled a warrant for the Dogg's arrest on charges of carrying a deadly weapon through a security checkpoint at John Wayne Airport.

We wonder if the rapper has fallen back into chillin with bad influences such as Dr. Dre and Eminem. If so, be strong, Snoop. Call up your former co-stars such as Owen Wilson instead.

The most trouble you could get in with him would be stealing wives from members of the Black Crowes.
