Gun and drugs found in rapper Nelly's bus
Authorities discovered marijuana, heroin and a loaded gun in Grammy-winning rapper Nelly's tour bus during a routine stop at a border patrol checkpoint in West Texas, law enforcement officials said.
A member of the singer's entourage took responsibility for the items and was arrested. Others on the bus, including Nelly, were released, according to Daily Star.
"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," Nelly said in a statement. "Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board."
The incident took place at the same checkpoint where rapper Snoop Dogg and actor Armand Hammer have been stopped for possession of controlled substances.
Rusty Fleming , a spokesman for the Hudspeth County sheriff told Reuters, all of the occupants of the bus were read their Miranda rights, and a passenger on the bus, Brian Keith Jones, admitted that the controlled substances and the weapon belonged to him.
"A search produced a small plastic container containing marijuana, 36 small bags containing heroin, and a loaded .45 pistol," Fleming said.
