Rapper and reality TV star Nelly is facing felony drug charges after being arrested in Tennessee on Saturday.
Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes, was pulled over about 9:20 a.m. because the bus he was riding in failed to display a U.S. Department of Transportation and International Fuel Tax Association sticker, the Tennessee Highway Patrol said in a news release.
According to the release troopers smelled marijuana when they reached the bus. A search revealed five rocks that tested positive for methamphetamine, as well as a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Troopers also said they found numerous handguns.
Nelly, 40, is facing charges including felony possession of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia. The St. Louis native was released from Putnam County Jail on a $10,000 bond. His next court date is June 19.
