“We don\u2019t believe the facts in this case warrant the issuing of charges,” Chris King, a spokesperson for the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney\u2019s Office, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes II, was arrested on Aug. 7 on an outstanding warrant for no proof of insurance, and state police alleged that he had four “ecstasy pills,” according to a state police report and Nelly’s lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police department in Maryland Heights, a suburb of St. Louis, said at the time that it arrested him for failure to appear on an old traffic charge after state police transported him to the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelly’s lawyer, Scott Rosenblum, said at the time that Nelly was not notified about the warrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosenblum said Nelly was “targeted by an overzealous, out-of-line officer” who checked for warrants after Nelly won money at the casino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nelly was born in Texas but moved to St. Louis as a child and was raised there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
