Rapper Nelly has been arrested in Tennessee on felony drug charges.
The Hot in Herre hitmaker was taken into custody after a state trooper found illegal drugs in a vehicle Nelly was a passenger in during a traffic stop on Saturday morning (11Apr15).
Reports suggest a search of Nelly's motor led to the discovery
methamphetamine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and a cache of
handguns.
The rapper has been charged with felony possession of drugs, simple
possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
In 2012 Texas authorities discovered marijuana, heroin and a loaded
gun on the rapper's tour bus, but the hitmaker was released after
members of his entourage took responsibility for the illegal
items.
