The rapper known as Nelly was arrested on drug charges in Tennessee Saturday, after highway patrol troopers said they found drugs and handguns in the bus he was riding in.

A Highway Patrol trooper pulled over the bus at around 9:20 a.m. in Putnam County Saturday because an U.S. Department of Transportation International Fuel Tax Association sticker wasn't displayed, the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security said in a statement.

The trooper said he smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle and the bus was searched, the department said. Troopers found five crystalline rocks that tested positive for methamphetamine, a small amount of marijuana and three handguns, the department said.

Nelly, 40, is charged with felony possession of drugs and lesser charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, authorities said. Another man, Brian Jones, was arrested for allegedly having a handgun as a convicted felon, the department said.

Nelly and Jones were booked and taken to the Putnam County Jail, and both men posted $10,000 bail and were released at 5:45 p.m. local time, jail officials said.

In addition to his music career, Nelly has had acting roles in the 2005 remake of "The Longest Yard" and the television show "CSI: NY."



Will this be on his reality tv show?

situation that was similar to this? and now this nigga doin meth? damn homey

.

"Pass."

>"Pass."

That's somewhat surprising. With that much money you'd think his drugs would be of a higher class.

>his drugs would be of a higher class.

b/c meth is some good shit. GOOD meth, i mean. is there something better out there?

I think drugs that make your skin look like shit and your teeth fall out and rot tend to get classified as low class.

it's okay if you don't.

You wouldn't know about meth.
You wouldn't buy a $400 mammy face pitcher.

No I wouldn't.

Get to your point.

1. denny indicated that b/c Nelly has money he'd expect him not to use meth and to instead use a higher class substance.

2. i asked _denny_ for info about a higher class substance w/the same effects as meth.

3. i didn't ask you.

4. i didn't ask you b/c i don't expect you to have info about illicit substances.

5. yes, i know you live in Nebraska and i know there are ppl in Nebraska who use meth. good for you!

6. living in Nebraska doesn't make you a meth expert.

7. i asked denny b/c he made the original comment.

8. but also b/c denny has talked about illicit substance w/enough detail that i think he'd have this info.

9. but the question was also disingenuous - at least slightly.

10. b/c i consider myself fairly well-versed on the subject due to my line of work and i know of no substance w/meth-like effects that's considered 'higher class' than meth.

11. but there are new drugs out there all the time and so maybe denny knows.

12. i can tell by your answer that you don't - and that's fine.

13. no, cocaine does not have meth-like effects.

14. you'll be fine.

I asked you what was so good about meth?

that's it.

i never said or pretended to be an expert.

>I asked you what was so good about meth?

the high feels really good.

You gotta have an assortment of party favors
With the cornucopia of drugs out here
You don't know what their twist is
Being he was I'm Tennessee meth is probably local fav

I'd imagine if he came to Miami or Orlando
They would've caught him with an 8ball of that snow
Gotta please the ppl

I doubt he picks his drugs based on groupies.

He hasn't had a hit In years.
Country grammar and nellyville came out over ten yrs ago
He mighty as we'll be old school to the new groupies

With Florida Georgia Line a country group. It was a crossover top 40 hit. They were one of the dozen or so concerts in the park the today show had. So they were in the mix with taylor swift and one direction. Also was on the voice. He's doing fine for an established rapper. 50 cent is stupid rich and retired.

What a lame excuse

Translation:
That bus is full of young rich n!&&erz and I'm stuck in this shitty-pay cop gig. Lemme throw a monkeywrench in they revenue stream.

They have started smoking "Molly" calling it flockas. Shit is crazy.

but guess I was wrong and he's an idiot

always thought he was my age

was 5 years younger than me..Then he hit a dry patch in his career, does a reality show and now he's a year older than me.

I thought he was a year younger than me - I'm 38.

And I knew of him when he was just Cornell Haynes in U City and he was a year behind me in school. Based on that I had assumed he was younger too.

than the rest of the babies born in '74 because if STL was like KC back then, you had to be 5 be for mid-august to start school that year

always thought we were the same age in the same grade. He's legit 40, though...born like 3 days before me.

the whole family man role model role is all shot to hell now

If he beats the charge or it's dropped he may be fine.

i love the meme where they said no one believes nelly was on tour

I don't seem to hear about their buses getting pulled over. I'm sure there are some unregistered rifles not to mention drugs in their buses also.

when the Allman Bros used to get stopped in small southern or western towns, the law officers would be sort of like: "well, we got some of this....." sort of like extorting the band.

Gregg said his reaction about that sort of shake-down "I should have written that song: "that's just the way it is...some things will never change."

that was a funny part of his book.
