According to TMZ, 36 bags of heroin, ten pounds of marijuana, and a loaded gun were found on Nelly’s tour bus during a search in Sierra Blanca, Texas.
Nelly and six others were detained until passenger Brian Keith Jones claimed the items were his. He was later taken into custody.
Nelly recently released a statement in regard to the situation:
“It is my understanding a member of my staff made an unfortunate decision to bring unlawful materials onto our tour bus that resulted in his arrest this morning, October 11th. Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board. Law enforcement officials in Sierra Blanca, Texas did not press charges against anyone other than that individual.”
