Rapper Nelly wo n’t face drug charges stemming from his August arrest at a St. Louis-area casino, a prosecutor said.
Wesley Bell, the attorney for St. Louis County, said in a statement on Tuesday that” we do n’t believe the facts in this case warrant the issuing of charges.” Bell, a Democrat, just won election to Congress after defeating Cori Bush in very contested key.
Bell stated that the decision was based on” a fair and impartial review of the evidence” and that no further details were provided as to why charges were n’t being filed.
Scott Rosenblum, the comedian’s attorney, has said the research that led to the arrest was unnecessary.
Nelly, 49, who was born Cornell Haynes II in St. Louis, was arrested around 4: 45 a. m. on Aug. 7 at the , Hollywood Casino &, Hotel , in Maryland Heights while trying to collect his earnings.
A state soldier stationed at the game told the” Country Grammar” and” Popular in Herre” song a warrant hunt was required for people who won a certain amount of money — which Rosenblum has disputed, saying Nelly was “targeted by an excessive, out of range agent”.
An excellent 2018 bench warrant for operating a car without plan was discovered during the investigation. Nelly was detained and searched, which turned up four joy pills, using that excellent permit as a justification.
Police pleaded guilty to a fee of possessing controlled substances in a criminal.
Rosenblum said , the plan matter was cleared up , after the three-time Grammy winner provided evidence that the vehicle was covered.
According to Rosenblum, the arresting prosecutor’s office has decided not to proceed after conducting a fair and impartial investigation.
