A media release from St. Louis County prosecuting attorney Wesley Bell stated that prosecutors “don’t believe the facts in this case warrant the issuing of charges.”

Nelly (whose real name is Cornell. I Haynes Jr.) was arrested by Maryland Heights police officers at 4:45 a.m., August 7, outside the Hollywood Casino St. Louis, where the “Hot in Herre” rapper had just tried to cash out several jackpots, including $50K he won on a slot machine.
