IFWT_Nelly_Arrest

Free bus rides are the reasons Nelly was arrested on felony drug charges over the weekend. The “Hot in Herre” artist had to do the mugshot walk when state troopers pulled over his tour bus, searched it and found drug paraphernalia [baggies], handguns and more. Not only was Nelly arrested on those felony charges, but another passenger, Brian Jones was also taken into custody – for the handgun. Days later, Nelly is claiming the reason for the added drama, is because he didn’t screen the entrants of the bus.

Nelly blames himself, and no one else. “I feel the need to take responsibility for my choices in needing to be more aware of all the people I associate with and allow onto my property,” he told TMZ. “While my instinct of course, is to be accessible to my friends, fans and acquaintances, the last thing I would want to do is compromise the respect and admiration of my friends, family and fans.”

According to Nelly’s attorney, there were up to 20 other individuals who had access to the tour bus. So, the drugs and paraphernalia could have belonged to any one of them. Huph, not any more. Nelly is putting a stop to the access.
