This week it was reported that rapper Nelly was arrested in St. Louis in possession of four ecstasy pills [click here if you missed that].
Nelly's attorney insists he has NOT been charged with possession and wants the arresting officer investigated...
From TMZ
The hit-maker's attorney, Scott Rosenblum, tells TMZ ... his client did collect his money from a $50,000 jackpot on a slot machine Wednesday morning at the Hollywood Casino in St. Charles, Missouri. That's the good news to go with Nelly's bad news -- as we reported, the win led to him getting booked for an active warrant.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Nelly initially thought the arrest was a joke or a prank, as he was in the middle of collecting his winnings when a background check revealed the open warrant.
We're told Nelly was first handcuffed to a chair ... with one hand free to collect the remainder of the cash.
After collecting all of the dough, we're told cops then cuffed both of Nelly's wrists and whisked him away through the casino.
Nelly's lawyer claims an arresting officer told his client they needed to run a background check before giving him the money.
The rapper insists he'd previously won bigger amounts at the same casino without getting a background check. During this background check, an active warrant for a prior traffic stop issue came up ... prompting the arresting officer to search his belongings, where they say they allegedly found Ecstasy.
Nelly's lawyer tells us prosecutors have yet to charge the rapper with drug possession ... and now he wants the arresting officer investigated, claiming Nelly was searched without probable cause.

Guilty or not...you gotta move smart out here especially being a black celebrity...Life isn't fair...its your response that defines you.
How All right
Why bring ecstasy to the Casino? He should’ve left that at home, if he wasn’t about to have sÄ™x with anyone.
If you’re only gambling why bring it? Unless he keeps it on him at all times just in case an opportunity presents itself. He a f.a.n.
The cop should be investigated with his lyin a z z.
Smh his lawyer trying to fan flames of racism through insinuation long story short, whether the search was illegal or not whether he is being charged with it or not. He had ecstasy on him just that simple. He was out gambling in the early hours of the morning. Yes he won 50 K but how much did he lose before he won the 50 that’s another thing when people gambling they be like oh I won 50 K but does it really matter when you lost 20 K before you won 50 so technically you only won 30 K. Nelly knows his reputation and he knows that there has been, loud rumors of him having financial issues due to his gambling and drug problem so no this is not look on his part
yea why the d rugs @1:48. He could gamble and remain faithful... oh wayminut... A Good Man could.
Do better Nelly.
Wasn't he moving weight at one point? He was using his tour bus to transport drugs. How did that all turn out?
