One picture on Snoop Dogg’s Instagram gets a Texas Public Safety Trooper in trouble.
Reports from XXLMag.com, say that a Texas Trooper must undergo counseling and was reprimanded with a disciplinary mark on his record because he posed with Snoop in the picture uploaded to Instagram.
The various repercussions the trooper faces as a result of the picture stems from Snoop Dogg having a “well-known criminal background.”
“While working a secondary employment job, Trooper Spears took a photo with a public figure who has a well-known criminal background including numerous drug charges,” according to the department’s statement on the matter to the Dallas News. “The public figure posted the photo on social media and it reflects poorly on the Agency.”
The picture was taken at the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas last month, and according to the Trooper, he had no idea who the rapper was when he took the picture.
