Nelly arrested
NASHVILLE, USA (AP) — An attorney for Nelly says the rapper and reality TV star will be exonerated of felony drug charges once the facts are out.
Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes, was arrested Saturday after a bus he was travelling in was pulled over by the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
According to their statement, troopers found five rocks that tested positive for meth, as well as a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Troopers also say they found numerous handguns.
Nelly, 40, was released from Putnam County Jail on a US$10,000-bond.
