Nelly Will Not Face Charges After Being Accused Of Ecstasy Possession

Nelly is officially off the hook regarding his August arrest for (alleged) ecstasy possession.

TMZ reports that prosecutors have declined to charge the “Nellyville” rapper, real name Cornell Haynes Jr., 50. A spokesperson for the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office reportedly stated about the matter:

“We don’t believe the facts in this case warrant the issuing of charges.”

Nelly’s attorney added:

“Wesley Bell, the prosecuting attorney, and his office looked at all the circumstances and after a fair and impartial review of the evidence, declined to prosecute.”

Back in August, Nelly was detained by Missouri police after winning $50,000 at a local casino he often frequented.

Police claimed they detained the musician over a 2018 arrest warrant and discovered 4 ecstasy pills on him, leading to his short stint in a holding cell.
