Nelly is probably thanking his lucky stars this morning after a close call with the clink.
Earlier this week, he was almost locked up after police in Sierra Blanca, Texas found a stash of weed and heroin on his tour bus. According To TMZ, the bus was pulled over at border patrol and Nelly and seven other people were detained while a search was performed. The cops found 36 small bags of heroin (totaling .64 ounces) and over ten pounds of marijuana as well as a loaded .45 caliber pistol in a duffel bag.
Luckily, one of the homies decided to ride or die for the crew and stepped up and admitted everything belonged to him. He was handcuffed and thrown in jail while Nelly and the other guys were let go.
Since then, Nelly released a 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. Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board. Law enforcement officials did not press charges against anyone other than that individual.Ironically, over the past year, celebs like Snoop Dogg, singer Fiona Apple, and Willie Nelson were all popped by the cops at the same Border Patrol in Sierra Blanca after drugs were found during searches of their tour buses. Those po-po don’t play.
