Officers found drugs and weapons in the bus of rapper Nelly, 40 years old. Arrested, he will go before the judge on June 19

You remember Nelly, the rapper who chained the tubes in the early 2000s? Well aware that he was arrested on Saturday morning while traveling in his tour bus. What did he have to do? Nothing too bad, there was just a significant amount of drug in said bus ... Basically, he was caught for a different reason: his car did not carry mandatory two stickers on the windshield for it to circulate in the state of Tennessee. By controlling Nelly, officers smelled a funny smell, namely marijuana, which led them to search the bus.

According to information from WRCB TV, "a plastic bag containing methamphetamine crystals positive test, and a small amount of marijuana and drug material" were discovered in the Nelly bus. According to TMZ, weapons were also found: a .45, a 50 magnum caliber and .500. In the end, Nelly was taken to the station for possession of methamphetamine, marijuana and materials for drug dealing. He has already paid his bail set at $ 10 000, but is expected in court on 19 June. It is apparently not concerned for weapons, unlike a certain Brian Jones.

As Nelly was not alone on the bus, his lawyer is confident his client will be exonerated, "Nelly is one of many people who traveled on the bus who was arrested for research, Tennessee. We are very confident and when the facts are clarified, Nelly will no longer be associated with this case smuggling discovery "he told ABC News. In 2012, a similar case had broken and it was a Nelly employee who was guilty.
