Nelly detained in Texas over weapons and drugs

I keep telling people, they got Nelly mixed up with some body that isn't from St. Louis. But, Nelly is "bout that life"! Allhiphop reports:

St. Louis bred rapper Nelly, founder of the St. Lunatics, was detained for several hours for alleged possession of heroin, marijuana, and .45 caliber pistol in Texas according to TMZ.

The rapper famed for songs like, “E.I.,” “Hot in Here,” and others was stopped on his bus at a border patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas.

While performing a search at border patrol, authorities found 36 small baggies of heroin (totaling .64 ounces) and over 10 pounds of marijuana inside a large green duffel bag.

According to sources, a man named Brian Keith Jones admitted to owning the drugs and gun, and was subsequently arrested and taken into custody.

Nelly and his entourage on the bus were later released.

***UPDATE***

Nelly releases a statement and then takes to Twitter:

“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.”
