Apparently, there was probable cause, so he was booked on second-degree charges and was brought into custody around 7:00AM.

Hours before his arrest, he posted this on Instagram:
TMZ also got their hands on video he made before his arrest. Check it below:
Nelly should just stay off tour buses. In 2015, he was arrested on felony drug charges when police pulled his tour bus over and allegedly found marijuana and MDMA. He lucked up in that situation where he didn't have to do any jail time since he had a clean criminal record.
By the way, Nelly's girlfriend Shantel Jackson is starring in E!'s upcoming show, "The Platinum Life," set to premiere next week. The time of this "story" seems a bit suspect. Thoughts?
