PASADENA, Calif. — A stone-faced Snoop Dogg pleaded no contest to felony gun and drug charges yesterday and avoided what could have been a years-long prison sentence. The 35-year-old rapper, born Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., agreed to five years’ probation and 800 hours of community service. He faced charges of gun possession by a felon and sale or transportation of marijuana.
