A Texas State trooper is currently being forced to undergo counseling and now also has a disciplinary mark on his record he can never appeal all because he took a picture with Big Snoop Dogg while at the South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin last month.

According to The Dallas Morning News, the trooper's superiors feel he needed to be punished because he associated with a "a well-known criminal."

"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. The public figure posted the photo on social media and it reflects poorly on the agency."
