Jones posed for the mugshot above after he was arrested in Siera Blanca, Texas last Thursday for “allegedly” transporting large amounts of drugs on his boss’ tour bus.

According to the Hudspeth County Sheriff’s Department, Nelly’s tour bus was on Interstate 10 on Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. when it was stopped at a U.S. Border Patrol Checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas. That’s when a police dog picked up on the scent of drugs. Authorities reportedly found a box with ten pounds of marijuana and .64 ounces of heroin inside.
While there were several other people on Nelly’s tour bus at the time, Jones took the fall for the huge stash as well as a loaded .45 caliber pistol that was also discovered inside of a large duffel bag.
But peep game… it’s widely believed that Jones merely took the fall for his boss so that he could save face, as evidenced by the fact that he’s pleaded “not guilty” and is fighting all the charges!
For the record, Nelly issued the following statement about bout the heroin, marijuana and a loaded .45-caliber pistol that officers turned up in the search:
It is my understanding a member of my staff made an unfortunate decision to bring unlawful materials onto our tour bus that resulted in his arrest this morning, October 11th.
Neither I nor anyone else on the tour bus was aware of his decision to bring these on board. Law enforcement officials in Sierra Blanca, Texas did not press charges against anyone other than that individual.
Here’s how this is gonna play out boys and girls…
As referenced in Nelly’s statement, “officials in Sierra Blanca, Texas did not press charges against anyone other than that individual,” that means that Jones will fight the charges and being that there were at least 5 others on board the tour bus, the charges will likely be dismissed.
During his bond hearing, Jones pleaded “not guilty” to all charges and was released on bond early Saturday morning, just in time to make it back to work guarding Nelly’s body in Atlanta this past weekend.
**Correction** Ooops my bad! Jones didn’t make it to Atlanta last weekend. As one of my trusty commenters, “KeepIt100,” pointed out in the comment section below:
THAT IS NOT NELLY’S BODYGUARD WHOM WAS LOCKED UP!!! THAT’S BIG BOB WHO USE TO WORK FOR JEMAINE DUPRI BEFORE HE WENT”SO SO BROKE”!!!!!!
Thanks boo! Point noted and corrected 
(where are my glasses!!)
Jones took the fall for the stash and Nelly’s hands remains clean as a whistle…. (talk about job security)!
“Fall Guys”…. every celeb should have at least one, right? 
How much would YOU charge to take the “fall”?

NEWSFLASH! Nelly Blames Spelman College For His Sister’s Death… [VIDEO]
Nelly don’t have the kind of money it would take to let me take the fall for this shiit. I don’t care what y’all say that was Texas need i say more.. SMH
I think Nelly’s bodyguard is fine, i will send him a box or two because His Azz will be in texas for a long time #prisonwife..Go Cowboys
I’m ashamed I’m looking at a mug shot like that lol
YOU AND STRAIGHT FROM THE A CAN’T SEE B/C THAT IS BIG B(BRIAN JONES) IN THE ARREST PIC BUT THAT IS NOT BIG B WITH NELLY ON SATURDAY. THAT IS BIG BOB, HIS PUNK AZZ COUSIN AND JERMAINE’S OLD BODYGUARD…….JENNY JONES!!!
Yup! ATL! I agree!
Nelly! Bra You have officially been put under a microscope!
Stay on your P’s and Q’s Bra!
when is nelly and all rappers going to grow the hell up!!! nelly you have kids dude….what the hell is wrong with you?! why do you need security again??? really??? wow….ashanti so stupid..why doesn’t she move on with her life?
That’s the problem, they can’t. People like Nelly and these stupid athletes can’t leave the thuggish and ghetto mentality behind. They love having these people hanging around their house 24-7 and that shit would drive me nuts having to look in their faces all day long, go home. Honestly, I didn’t know he was still putting out music, if that’s what you want to call it, lol. They feel so much superior around their hanger on friends and as soon as the fame and fortune disappears their asses are nowhere to be found. No amount of money in the world would make me own up to that shit and being in Texas too. I read in another article that he’s Nelly’s cousin or some other type of relative.
That don’t even look like the same guy…and how did they just let him walk free like that with all them drugs??
Love the site. I am a fan. Im also close to Nelly camp…Just wanted you to know that is not Brian in the photo with Nelly. He is Nelly’s 2nd guard.
I THOUGHT SO, ATL WHERE YOUR GLASSES GURL?
THAT IS NOT NELLY’S BODYGUARD WHOM WAS LOCKED UP!!! THAT’S BIG BOB WHO USE TO WORK FOR JEMAINE DUPRI BEFORE HE WENT"SO SO BROKE"!!!!!!
Did this fool not learn from Shyne? Idiots really need to start having these "celebs" take the fall for their own mess. All the promises that they make you to take the rap will not come to fruition.
I guess they forgot they were in TEXAS. In Texas drugs + firearm = JAIL.
Plus black = prison for a long damn time
No one pleads "Guilty" at a bond hearing. Not saying he’s not the "fall guy" but anyone that is even a little bit familiar with the legal system knows that this is par of the course.
If he’s worked out a deal at the Plea & Arraignment or before trial, that is when most people usually plead guilty…not at the first appearance (which this is) or at the bond hearing.
