US rapper Snoop Dogg has been briefly arrested by Swedish police on suspicion of using illegal drugs.
"Police carrying out roadside controls noticed that Snoop Dogg (whose car was pulled over) seemed to be under the influence of narcotics. He was arrested and taken to the police station to take a urine test," police spokesman Daniel Nilsson said on Sunday.
"The incident lasted several minutes. Once the test was carried out he left," Nilsson added.
The arrest took place after the celebrity rapper gave a concert in the area on Saturday night.
Snoop Dogg reacted by vowing that he would not return to Sweden.
The test results were not immediately available.
It is far from the 43-year-old music star's first brush with the law.
Snoop Dogg's song lyrics often display his fondness for marijuana and he has previously had run-ins with police elsewhere over the drug.
