A Search of Nelly’s Tour Bus Uncovers 36 bags of Heroin, 10 lbs of Weed, and a Gun
Wednesday night Nelly was on his tour bus headed towards Texas when he was stopped at a border patrol in Sierra Blanca. Upon inspection of his 2007 Black Prevost bus, the agents found heroin, marijuana and a gun. OH MY.
WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?
When the bus was pulled over, it was initially inspected by the canine unit which flagged the vehicle for further inspection. The vehicle was directed to a secondary lane where it was further inspected and the dogs pinpointed a box – TMZ says a duffle bag. Voila’ Inside was 36 Ziploc bags of heroin, a 45 caliber pistol and 10 lbs of Weed. Yes! 10 lbs of Weed!
As typical in the hood, when you have loyal soldiers someone with either little or the least priors steps up and takes the hit. In this case it was someone in Nelly’s entourage by the name of Brian Keith Jones. He admitted that the drugs and the gun was his. By claiming ownership Nelly and the rest of his clique, which consisted of 5 other people were released. Had Jones not stepped up, the entire tour bus would have been taken into custody.
Jones is currently in Hudspeth County Jail awaiting a bond hearing, which is expected to take place later today or tomorrow.
As honorable as it was for Jones to take the fall, without knowing the true origins of the gun, he could be signing up for a lot more then possession.
