Nelly

Rapper Nelly was pulled over by the police in Missouri on August 8th, due to driving a vehicle without insurance. However, the arrest led to officials discovering he was also in possession of ecstasy pills at the time.

Following the arrest, the rapper, whose real name is Cornell Iral Haynes, was taken into custody, but his lawyer suggested the warrant would soon be dismissed as it occurred due to “an overzealous, out-of-line officer.”

Earlier that evening, Haynes had been at the Hollywood Casino and Hotel in the St. Louis area, where he reportedly enjoyed winning “several jackpots.” According to his lawyer, the officer who carried out the arrest “felt compelled to needlessly run a check for warrants,” which he did instead of “supervising the transfer of winnings.”
