At that time all seven occupants of the vehicle were detained and read their Miranda Warning Rights.
The canine then found a large green duffel bag containing nine vacuum sealed bags containing marijuana, weighing 10.4 pounds. It was found in an outside lower compartment of the bus.
Hudspeth County officials said that at that time Brian Keith Jones freely admitted that the controlled substances along with the weapon belonged to him and he was placed under arrest by U.S. Border Patrol agents. Call it a coincidence but at that time Nelly claimed not to know how the drugs got on the bus back then.
The St. Louis native is facing charges including felony possession of drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Nelly, 40, was released from Putnam County Jail on a $10,000 bond. His next court date is June 19.
