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."
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.

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.

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."
