When we think about the glamorous lives of famous musicians traversing the
country on tour buses, thoughts come to mind of all-night parties, jam sessions
and general good-natured debauchery. But that wasn't exactly the scene when Nelly's tour bus was raided in
Texas and heroin was found.

According to a press release from local police sent to MTV News, the "Hot in
Herre" rapper was detained Wednesday night during a routine search at a
border-patrol checkpoint in the town of Sierra Blanca, Texas. The bus search was
conducted after a police dog detected the presence of drugs.

The officers at the scene found 0.64 ounces of heroin distributed among 36
small plastic bags, more than 10 pounds of marijuana and a loaded .45-caliber
pistol. A man named Brian Keith Jones reportedly admitted that the illegal items
were his and was subsequently arrested. Nelly was eventually let go, along with
the five other individuals who were on the bus at the time.

Coincidentally enough, the Sierra Blanca checkpoint has been in the news
several times before the Nelly tour bus raid, thanks to a slew of celebrities
who've passed through with illegal substances onboard. It is the same spot where
Willie Nelson, Armie Hammer, Snoop Dogg and, most recently, Fiona
Apple were arrested for drug possession.
