RadioOnFire.com - Nelly and a member of his entourage were arrested in Putnam County, Tennessee on Saturday, April 11, on various drug and gun charges.
WSMZ reports that the rapper's tour bus was pulled over by two state troopers for failure to display a U.S Department of Transportation sticker and an International Fuel Tax Association sticker. The troopers boarded the bus after smelling weed.
During a search they found a gold-plated .50-caliber Desert Eagle pistol, a .45-caliber Tarus pistol, and a 500 magnum Smith and Wesson.
Also discovered were a small amount of marijuana, five rocks of methamphetamine and 100 Ziploc bags, sometimes associated with selling drugs.
**UPDATE**
Nelly is denying the drugs found on his bus belonged to him. He claims that 15-20 people had access to the bus and it had multiple people on board at the time of the stop.
TMZ reports that Nelly's lawyer, Scott Rosenblum, denies meth was found.
"A small quantity of [MDMA/Ecstasy] was discovered," Rosenblum said. "Nelly will not be associated with the contraband that was allegedly discovered."
