Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg (before he became a Lion) and Fiona Apple have all been busted there, and this week urban artist Nelly and his six-man crew were stopped at a checkpoint in Sierra Blanca on Interstate 10 in Texas.

Nelly and his crew were detained after a police canine detected the presence of drugs after the bus was stopped on Wednesday night, US time. According to MTV, police found 36 small bags of heroin (totalling just over 18 grams), over four-and-a-half kilograms of cannabis and a loaded .45 calibre pistol onboard during the search.

A man by the name of Brian Keith Jones is said to have taken responsibility for all contraband found on the bus and was arrested immediately, while Nelly, plus the five remaining crew members, were freed.
