Yesterday night, Nelly’s bus was searched by Texas Border Patrol, and officials found heroin, a loaded gun and weed. There were 7 passengers including Nelly, and one member of his entourage took the rap for everyone and was promptly arrested while the others were let go. This guy will be set for life! Nelly’s PR team is definitely in damage control, as they’ve now followed up with the typical statement from Nelly, claiming “no knowledge” of the 36 bags of heroin and 10 POUNDS of weed around him. LOL! Check out the statement below. It must be said though before they look totally crazy, that Nelly’s team is saying it was actually “Molly,” not heroin. Makes a lot more sense!

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.”

“Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board. Law enforcement officials did not press charges against anyone other than that individual.”

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ field tests of the drugs in the baggies confirmed it was heroin — but sources close to Nelly claim it was Molly … aka pure ecstasy.
