FULLERTON, Calif. — Police say the wife of rapper Snoop Dogg has been arrested in Cali-fornia’s Orange County for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Fullerton police Lt. Craig Brower says officers stopped 32-year-old Shante Broadus, of Sherman Oaks, about 12:15 a.m. Saturday and took her to jail. She was cited and then released pending a court appearance.

Brower says nobody else was in the car, but he didn’t have any other details.

Broadus and Snoop Dogg — whose real name is Calvin Broadus Jr. — were married in 1997 and have three children.

A message left with Snoop Dogg’s publicist was not immediately returned.
