Snoop Dogg was handed a desk appearance ticket Wednesday night when he was caught smoking marijuana outside of a Manhattan nightclub, according to the New York Post.

"He did not get arrested. He received a ticket for possession of marijuana," said Snoop's attorney, Donald Etra. "We are contesting the ticket."

Snoop is currently on probation for five years stemming from a no-contest plea in April 2007 to marijuana- and gun-possession charges after being arrested at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, Calif., in October 2006.
