Official statement about the arrest from the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security after the cut...
A Tennessee state trooper arrested internationally known hip-hop artist
“Nelly” on felony drug charges in Putnam County on Saturday morning.
Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes, was charged with felony
possession of drugs, simple possession of marijuana and possession of
drug paraphernalia.
At approximately 9:20 a.m. on Saturday, Trooper Michael Loftis stopped a
Prevost motor coach bus on Interstate 40 near the 275 mile marker for
failure to display a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and
International Fuel Tax Association (IFTA) sticker on the vehicle. The
investigating trooper planned to conduct an inspection on the bus when he noticed an odor of marijuana emitting from the vehicle.
Trooper Loftis, assisted by THP Sgt. Donald
Jennings, then conducted a probable cause search of the bus. The
troopers discovered in the sleeper area a plastic bag that contained
five colored crystal-type rocks that tested positive for
methamphetamine, as well as a small amount of marijuana and other drug
paraphernalia.
Further investigation revealed
approximately 100 small Ziploc bags that are commonly associated with
the sale of narcotics and numerous handguns, including a gold-plated
50-caliber Desert Eagle pistol, a 45-caliber Tarus pistol, and a 500
magnum Smith and Wesson.
The bus was occupied by six subjects,
one of whom was identified as Brian Jones, 44, of St. Louis, Missouri.
Mr. Jones, a convicted felon, was also in possession of a handgun and
was charged accordingly. Nelly, 40, also of St. Louis, Missouri and
Jones, who were traveling to St. Louis when the traffic stop occurred,
were transported to the Putnam County Jail.
The weapons and drugs were seized in accordance with state law.
