Rapper Nelly Arrested by Missouri State Police

Yet another popular entertainer has found himself in trouble with the law.

This time, it is rapper Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes Jr.

Haynes was arrested by the Missouri State Highway Patrol related to a previous citation.

Lock Him Up

Haynes was placed under arrest very early on Wednesday morning in St. Louis, according to local reports.

Authorities took him into custody at the Hollywood Casino in Maryland Heights, Missouri.

Haynes was going through an ID verification at the casino when he was contacted by the State Highway Patrol.

The MSHP stated, "During the verification process, Haynes was found to have an active warrant for his arrest from the Maryland Heights Police Department and was arrested without incident.

“During a search of his person incident to the arrest, Haynes was found to be in possession of four pills. A preliminary investigation tentatively identified the pills as Ecstasy."

According to authorities, he was processed and released.

Haynes’ attorney, of course, is blaming this on “an overzealous, out-of-line officer.”

He continued, "He was arrested for 'No Proof of Insurance' from 2018 on a warrant issued December 2023 that he received no notice.

"After winning several jackpots at a venue where Mr. Haynes frequently visits and entertains at its amphitheater, instead of just supervising the transfer of Mr. Haynes' winnings, this officer felt compelled to needlessly run a check for warrants.

"The officer informed Mr. Haynes a background check was mandated when a player won over a certain amount; Mr. Haynes knew this to be untrue as he had won several jackpots for similar or greater amounts including one just a week prior without incident or a background check."

It is always the fault of the officer, not the person breaking the law… funny how that works out, isn’t it?
