Rapper Nelly found himself in some hot water when a tour bus raid
turned up heroin, marijuana and a loaded gun when it was pulled over in
Sierra Blanca, Texas.
Oops.
MTV
reports that, according to a police press release, Nelly was detained
Wednesday night after a routine border-patrol checkpoint search resulted
in some interesting finds.
0.64 ounces of heroin was discovered in 36 small plastic bags and
more than 10 pounds of marijuana was found. Plus, there was a loaded
.45-caliber pistol on board.
A passenger named Brian Keith Jones reportedly said the items were
his and he was arrested. Nelly and the other passengers arrested were
let go.
Nelly released the following statement:
"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."
He then took to Twitter to talk about how disappointed he was with
Jones' actions, writing: "I'm not gone front I'm MAD as Hell about this
sh#t!!2have some1 who works 4u n who u call a friend 4 ova 10years

He added, "That being said he was not only an employee but he was fam
some1 who protected my life 4many years!No excuses for wad he did!!!!"
