Nelly‘s attorney is speaking out on his shocking arrest.
More details below…
According to a statement shared by Page Six, Nelly’s attorney, Scott Rosenblum, believes Nelly was “targeted” in the incident by an “overzealous” officer who “felt compelled to needlessly run a check for warrants.”
“After winning several jackpots, at a venue where Mr. Haynes frequently visits and entertains at its amphitheater; instead of just supervising the transfer of Mr. Haynes’ winnings, this officer felt compelled to needlessly run a check for warrants,” he said.
“The officer informed Mr. Haynes a background check was mandated when a player won over a certain amount; Mr. Haynes knew this to be untrue as he had won several jackpots for similar or greater amounts including one just a week prior without incident or a background check,” the statement continued.
The lawyer further goes on to claim that the arresting officer “conducted a search without probable cause where he claimed to have found alleged ‘ecstasy’ in Mr. Haynes’ personal property.”
“I am 100 percent confident this case will go nowhere. And we will be asking for an inquiry into this officer’s conduct,” his statement concluded.
A spokesperson for the police department has not commented on the matter.
