Nelly will not face any charges stemming from his arrest at a Missouri casino back in August. During the incident, the Grammy-winning rapper was searched and taken into custody when he tried to collect some winnings. Nelly was detained on an old warrant issued in 2018 related to driving without proof of insurance. “We don’t believe the facts in this case warrant the issuing of charges,” a spokesman for the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said in a statement. “It’s the right result,” says Nelly’s lawyer, Scott Rosenblum. “He won a jackpot at the casino. They ran him,” says a law enforcement source. “He had an old warrant for driving without [proper paperwork], and they searched him. It was an improper search. It was a really dumb arrest.” Nelly, 50, had just welcomed his first child with Ashanti a few weeks before his August 7 arrest. (Rolling Stone)
